Here in London, it’s less than 100 days to go until the Olympic juggernaut steams into town, bringing a trail of disruption in its wake. As many as 11 million people are expected to visit the Games during the two weeks following the opening ceremony on July 27. For those of us who live and work in the bustling English capital, it’s a terrifying prospect. For London’s largest law firm offices, it raises serious issues surrounding staff travel, logistics, and security.
As any Londoner will attest, our much-maligned public transport system is already heaving under the strain of the city’s 7.5 million permanent inhabitants. Traveling around central London during rush hour on an ordinary working day is a grueling exercise in pain and futility. Add the 3 million additional journeys that are expected to be made each day during the Olympics, and the results don’t even bear thinking about.
