Lecture series
The autumn lectures 2009 comprised three related, but specifically themed events communicating key messages and encouraging debate about the planning and delivery of the Olympic legacy. These took place in some of London’s foremost inter-disciplinary centres for urban research and were aimed at a pan-London student, academic and public audience.
The lectures on offer this year were:

Lecture series 2008:
Last year's lecture series, focusing on the legacy of the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games and organised by the LDA, took place between October and December 2008. The events proved to be extremely useful for both participants and panellists alike, with over 200 people attending and contributing to the legacy debate.
