The Publican reports that London Pubs are being urged by Boris Johnson to do their bit to help tourists feel at home when the Olympic Games roll into town in 2012.
Mayor of London has already started recruiting ambassadors to greet the hundreds of thousands of visitors set to arrive in the UK for the Olympics and Paralympics.London hostelries are to be key a recruiting ground with Johnson looking for locals to help guide visitors to key attractions – and pubs.
To support the bid pubs are being encouraged to take part in a poster campaign calling on customers to get involved.
The Morning Advertiser is reporting that a leading licensing solicitor has urged the Government to relax opening times for London pubs during the 2012 Olympics.
Jeremy Allen of Popplesten Allen said that it would make sense for the Government to make the order as soon as possible.The culture secretary can make a Licensing Hours Order to relax opening hours for occasions considered to be "of exceptional international, national or local significance".
