- Abstract
The White City Stadium in London was purpose-built for the 1908 Olympic Games and featured various sports facilities. The Games had a mixed attendance, but the stadium also hosted other events like exhibitions and sporting events. However, the stadium's decline began in the 1970s, and it was eventually demolished in 1984. The site is now known as White City Place and is home to various companies and institutions, with some markers remaining to acknowledge the stadium's historical significance.
