What was the name of the main stadium for the 2012 London Olympics?

The main stadium for the 2012 London Olympics was the Olympic Stadium.

Built in Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park in Stratford, east London, the stadium hosted the Games’ opening and closing ceremonies and served as the principal athletics venue. It opened in 2012 with a design centered on a lightweight roof and a distinctive steel structure surrounding the track and field area.

After the Olympics and Paralympics, the venue was redesigned for regular multi-purpose use. It became the home ground of West Ham United from the 2016 season and was renamed London Stadium. “Olympic Stadium” remains the historically correct name for its role during the 2012 Games.

The other choices are major London sports grounds, but they were not the Olympic main stadium. Wembley hosted football events, while Twickenham is associated with rugby and Emirates Stadium with Arsenal football. The Olympic Stadium also hosted athletics and ceremonies rather than being the Games’ primary football venue.
