The London 2012 Olympics could become a very busy place for men looking to have a bit of fun after watching an event or making the most of their holiday in London. The local authorities are concerned that the area of London Stratford, where the games are being held, is already becoming a magnet for prostitutes from around the world wanted to make extra business.
The number of prostitutes working near the main Olympic site in Stratford, east London, has already increased since work began on the Olympics stadium and on the Westfield Shopping Centre nearby.
Tessa Jowell, the Olympics minister, is already aware of this situation as it has been reported by the officials from the Vancouver Winter Olympics as well as from Berlin. The World Cup in South Africa is also predicted to attract a large number of prostitutes from neighbouring countries and Britain has promised to sent 42 million condoms to South Africa to try a prevent the spread of HIV to men looking for casual sex during the football competition.
Police in the five London boroughs surrounding London Stratford and the main Olympic site, where 10,000 construction workers are already based to work on the project, have collected evidence of a steep rise in the number of prostitutes on the streets, from around 125 to more than 250.
The experience of previous Olympics such as Vancouver, Berlin or Athens is that the number of prostitutes more than doubles during the Games. In other words, there is a large demand from tourist and visitors who enjoy watching sport and playing away at the same time. It is expected that call girls from websites and London Escort agencies will be busy during the summer 2012.
After the Games, the number of prostitutes in the area is also expected to stay higher. This means that the east end of London will be fun place for a holiday.
