What year would you buy?
Ken Livingstone, Mayor of London
'I have chosen the year 2012 because although it is not a part of the capital's great history yet, 2012 will be a year enjoyed and remembered by Londoners and people around the globe when we have the opportunity to host the Olympic and Paralympics Games.
'The games will celebrate London's diversity, creativity and openness. Leading up to 2012 London will stage an inspirational programme of cultural activities beginning when the Beijing Olympics in 2008 is completed and the baton is passed to London for the 2012 Games. Work is underway to ensure that the infrastructure is ready to stage the Games in the Olympic village in East London and in other venues across London.
'When the Games are over the Olympic village will become facilities and parks, forming residential, employment and leisure opportunities creating a powerful legacy that will benefit this city well beyond 2012'.
