I'm happy to be full of childish glee with you Judith. Shame though it's not paassing by Arena Arcade on Green Lanes which was the site of the Harringay stadium that held Basketball events during the last London Olympics ... but it'll be near enough.

Thanks for the update Judith - and yes it seems daft not to go by the site of the 1948 Olympics or the siet of Jamaica Village. I wonder who planned the route.

And they've missed an obvious turn off TLA504 onto Wightman Road B138. What are they avoiding: the hills? the turns? the polluting particulates? or just the people?

This is what LOCOG have to say on how the route was chosen:
The route development was a two year consultation process including every nation and region and local authority across the UK. LOCOG also worked with national bodies on tourism, heritage, sport, education, culture, sustainability and diversity and inclusion. (By email from the LOCOG Press Office)

I'm not happy that the route is coming through Tottenham. It would have been far better for the organisers that they taken a different route, for example:
From Upper Edmonton, turn into North Circular Road
Turn left into Green Lanes (Palmers Green)
Through to Wood Green High Road
Then rejoin the original route to Alexandra Palace.
