Among the chosen to carry the torch on this 31 mile run is Athens Olympics champion Kelly Holmes, 5-time Olympic gold medalist Steve Redgrave and British Pro Tennis Player Tim Henman.
The other fortunate people chosen Olympic torchbearers are a mix of British popular celebrities such as the girl band Sugababes, actress Denise van Outen, news presenter Trevor McDonald, violinist Vanessa Mae, sailor Ellen MacArthur and Arsenal footballer Theo Walcott.
The torch will pass through key places in the United Kingdom which includes Notting Hill, China Town, Trafalgar Square and the South Bank, St Paul's Cathedral and East London.

Many people all over the UK are keen to be around the torch. Quotes like "The torch will pass through key places in the United Kingdom which includes Notting Hill, China Town, Trafalgar Square and the South Bank, St Paul's Cathedral and East London" on the blog could be viewed as London centric..
If you're interested to see some footage of the Vancouver 2010 torch relay we have a full playlist of videos.
It's updated weekly and the last stop was in Quebec City.
Enjoy!
Oh I am soo excited! Only 2 years left until the 2012 olympics. I already have my trip to London booked and am eagerly awaiting. I know how Britian feels waiting for the Torch.
Cant we concentrate on Winter Olympics 2010 right now?
If it was anything like Vancouver, 2012 should be a great show. London should be prepared to show it's pride and patriotism.
