The London Olympics will result in a £16.5bn boost to the UK economy over the next five years, creating the equivalent of 62,200 new jobs.

This is the prediction of a study by Lloyds Banking Group, whose brand Lloyds TSB is a major sponsor for the event.The majority of this is due to come from construction, although tourism is also to be a major contributor.
