Foundations laid for Olympic Village - PHOTOS

The Olympic Delivery Authority (ODA) and Lend Lease have released photos and details of the latest progress on the construction of the Olympic Village.

The ODA said that the foundations of several buildings are now complete, with structural work underway on the ground floor level.

Lend Lease Europe chief executive Daniel Labbad said: "We're delighted to be unveiling these new images which demonstrate the substantial progress being made onsite."

Construction work on the Village began in May last year and there are now around 570 workers on site.

The village will comprise 11 residential blocks, each made up of five to seven buildings.
