Various locations across London, 6 April
The Beijing 2008 Olympic Games torch will arrive in Wembley Stadium on 6 April, ready to begin a tour across London.
The torch relay takes in 22 cities on five continents, before arriving back in Beijing for the start of this year's Games on 8th August.
London's leg of the relay will pass through some of the capital's most iconic landmarks, before finishing up at the O2 Arena.
Olympic heroes such as double gold medallist Dame Kelly Holmes will join young Londoners to carry the flame through ten London boroughs and spectators can line the route to cheer on the torchbearers and enjoy free entertainment.
The day culminates in a free, ticketed event at the O2.
