(No to Greenwich Olympic Equestrian Events)

NOGOE is a pressure group opposed to the use of Greenwich Park as the venue for the 2012 equestrian events for the following reasons:

Greenwich Park was chosen for these events without any public consultation  

  • The likelihood of serious damage to the fabric of the Park - A Unesco World Heritage site
  • The Park is too small
  • The cost could be £50 million more than elsewhere
  • Parts of the Park will be closed for 6-8 months and the whole Park for 6-8 weeks around the actual period of the Games.
  • The traffic congestion will be massive (closure of Romney Road (A206) and one lane of the Blackwall Tunnel at times) 


NOGOE's report on the true cost of the Olympics in Greenwich Park together with a more detailed report, feasibility study and economic assessment can be found on the Publications  page.
