Regular readers of this blog will know we’re fans of timelapse videos. And chocolate. (Mmm, timelapse chocolate…)

So here’s a real Double Decker of a treat(!) from the Official Treat providers from the London 2012 Games: a timelapse vid of Cadbury House taking shape in Hyde Park.

Cadbury House is free to visit. Inside, you can journey through the Joyville tasting zone to the Chocolatrium and finally to a very Harry-Potter-sounding “Great Games Hall” where you’ll receive your own Cadbury Dairy Milk Chocolate Medal as you step onto the podium to the sound of cheering crowds!

Cadbury House is open until 12 August as part of BT London Live.

Have you been to any of the London 2012 Live Sites? Let us know your highlights (chocolate or otherwise!) in the comments below.

With just 35 days to go to the start of the Olympic Games, we’re starting to get very excited in the VL.com offices!

This fantastic timelapse video is a great way to fly through the last few years of development in Newham, the borough hosting the majority of the sports in the coming months.

A few weeks ago, we shared with you a video by ChrisCLondon, who had created a gorgeous timelapse video of Tower Bridge opening and closing for two tugs.

Here’s another fantastic piece by Chris, this time of the London Eye. It gives you a great impression of what it’s like to travel on one of London’s most famous landmarks.

We’re suckers for timelapse videos of London here at vl.com. Here’s a gorgeous few minutes of film from ChrisCLondon, who’s created a gorgeous timelapse video of Tower Bridge opening and closing for two tugs.

The ArcelorMittal Tower is finally complete! To celebrate, here’s a gorgeous timelapse video of the Tower being built in the Olympic Park over the last couple of years.

At 114m, it’s officially the tallest sculpture in the UK. There’s a central lift which will take you up to see the spectacular views from the top; a spiral staircase winds down the central core to bring you back down to earth again.

The Tower officially opens to the public on 28 July.
