LONDON 2012 organisers have revealed the designs of the ‘Landmark London' pin badges for each of the 33 boroughs, set to go on sale later this month.

Locog chairman Lord Sebastian Coe presented each London Borough Leader with the first pin badge produced for their borough at a London Councils Leaders' Committee earlier this morning.

"London is a fantastically diverse city and the variety of landmarks chosen by Londoners to represent their local areas highlights this perfectly," said Coe.

"These pin badges are a fantastic way to showcase to the UK and the rest of the world what a wonderful city London is and I am delighted to see how proud people are of their city and specific borough. I hope they will wear their pin badges with pride."

In September last year, Londoners were invited to for the most iconic landmark in their borough and the winners are:

Barking and Dagenham: The Catch

Barnet: The Archer Statue

The pin badges look great! I'll surely wear one of those if I'll happen to have some.
London is really cool. I ain't from London but I wanna visit this place.

I must say that I have to agree with Coe. The last time I went to London was four months back and I must say it is exactly the kind of place one would be hoping to settle. Everything about London is cool. The nature, the environmental health, medical facilities, etc.! Furthermore, the way they embrace the pin badges really makes us wonder how good a culture they have and how much they cuddle sports and games!
