Olympics 2012...

the power to inspire and unite

Since London has been awarded the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games on 6th July 2005, Great Britain has been provided with a major sporting, social, cultural and business opportunity that will no doubt prove to be a massive boost for the economy leading up to the Olympics and for many years beyond. In the changing world of global tourism, Britain is set to capitalise from this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity...

The county of Suffolk in East Anglia is firmly behind the 2012 games and with it’s close proximity to London including great transport connections, it’s a prime location to be based before, during and after. Newmarket is less than 60 miles from London’s Olympic Park… far enough to escape the hustle and bustle of London but close enough for easy and speedy access. Whilst London will undoubtedly be the ‘showcase’ destination, Suffolk has so much to offer, whether you are on holiday with the family or attending the games. Suffolk guarantees stunning countryside, beautiful coastline, great days out and a sunny climate.

Based in Newmarket, the ancestral home of British Horseracing, Bedford Lodge Hotel is the only 4-star hotel in the area and provides the very best in modern comfort and luxury. Experience the beauty and tranquillity that staying at Bedford Lodge Hotel has to offer coupled with a fantastic base for exploring Suffolk!
