Athenian Adventures in Concrete and Steel by Jamie McGregor Smith
Athenian Adventures in Concrete and Steel by Jamie McGregor Smith

We all have high hopes for the legacy of the London Olympics 2012. There are plans to cherish our well designed buildings such as the Olympic Stadium and Orbit for ever more. But what happened over in Athens when the circus left town in 2004? Shockingly, it's been left to ruin. Jamie McGregor Smith brings you a wonderful exhibition documenting the once loved Olympic sites in Athens, where many World Records were made. Pop along to this after the circus has left our town, and appreciate just how lucky we are our Government is stable. The buildings look so haunted when there is no-one in them, a sight we will hopefully never have a chance to get used to. The insight into Greece is worthwhile.
