2012 Summer Paralympic Games will be the fourteenth Paralympics and will take place between 29 August and 9 September, as governed by the International Paralympic Committee. They will be held in London, United Kingdom, after the city was successful with its bid for the 2012 Summer Olympics. It is the second largest multi-sport event ever held within the United Kingdom after the 2012 Summer Olympics.
The Games are expected to be the largest and most commercially successful Paralympics ever: Great Britain's success during the recent Summer Olympics and growing interest in Paralympic sport worldwide contributed to a significantly higher demand for tickets to the Games than in previous years, breaking numerous sales records. They will also mark the return of the Paralympic movement to its birthplace; the British village of Stoke Mandeville first hosted the Stoke Mandeville Games, an athletics event for British World War II veterans, to coincide with the opening of the 1948 Summer Olympics in London. The Stoke Mandeville Games were the first ever organized sporting event for the disabled, and served as a precursor to the modern Paralympic Games.
