Wonderful Events up and coming in London

London is set and ready to go for a very exciting 2012!  New stadiums, public spaces and shopping centers are being built on the eastern edge of the city, along with the Waldorf Astoria opening a 400 acre estate near the Heathrow Airport with 137 rooms.  All this is in preparation for the 2012 Summer Olympic Games, with the opening ceremonies beginning on Friday July 27^th and the Diamond Jubilee celebration of the Queen’s 60^th year on the throne on June 5^th.    

Those are not the only exciting events on the calendar for London.  The Charles Dickens Museum in Bloomsbury reopened in November of last year just in time for the authors 200^th birthday celebration on February 7^th, 2012.  On the other side of town Warner Brothers Studio is opening The Making of Harry Potter on March 31^st, 2012.  Harry Potter lovers will have a chance to go behind the scenes and see things the camera never showed.  The tour will show all the details of the striking costumes, props and animatronics.  It is also the Rolling Stones 50^th anniversary and there have been rumors circulating of an anniversary tour with a finale show in London.  Robert Redford will inaugurate a London outpost of the Sundance Film festival at the O2 arena in April.
