This summer, a small corner of London has come alive with the sights and sounds of Jamaica.
Jamaica House, the official Jamaica Olympic Association (JOA) endorsed Olympic House, is situated at The O2. Launched on 3 August it is set to be London’s most popular Hospitality House at which to watch the 2012 games. It is a joint venture between the Ministry of Tourism, the Ministry of Industry, Investment and Commerce and the Office of The Prime Minister/Ministry of Sports.
The venue will embody a celebration of all things Jamaican, which is thought to be the initial attraction to ticket holders.
Authentic and interactive
Once inside, visitors will be taken on an authentic, interactive journey through the island’s proud 50-year history, which will include elements of Jamaica’s rich culture of food and drink, music, sporting legacy and the allure of its people. The venue will also act as a hub to watch world-class athletes such as Usain Bolt, lead Jamaica to hopeful medal success at the 2012 London Olympic Games.
