Greenwich Park at Games time

We are committed to keeping the Park open for as long as possible up to Games time.
Spectators
Access to Greenwich Park for spectators at Games time will be via the National Maritime Museum side of Romney Road and Blackheath Gates.
We are planning a managed crossing of Romney Road and, for one day only (Cross Country day, provisionally 31 July 2012), a managed crossing of the A2 Shooters Hill Road.
Transport
Our transport plans will maximise the use of rail, bus and river links and walking and cycling routes. As part of our venue ticketing strategy, spectators will be encouraged to travel via public transport. Travel tickets will be included with event tickets.
Coaches delivering competitors and officials will drop off in designated areas within the venue. Our revised transport plans, based on residents' comments, remove Games traffic from Greenwich town centre.

The Olympic Route Network in Greenwich
The Olympic Route Network will be used to ensure the people who play a part in making the Games happen, such as athletes and officials, get to their events quickly, safely and reliably. It only operates during the Games. Furthermore, being a ‘designated’ road does not mean that the road would automatically be restricted.
Local access
Local residents and businesses near Greenwich Park will have priority parking provision and access to their homes and properties throughout the Games period.
