"The opening ceremony will be in Trafalgar Square on July 6 followed by
the 8km (five mile) Prologue time trial on July 7.
The riders will head off on the 125 mile first stage into Kent on July
8.
In the prologue, the riders will race past Downing Street towards
Parliament Square on an 8km course.
Turning at the Houses of Parliament, the route goes along Victoria
Street, past Westminster Abbey and in front of Buckingham Palace.
After the Palace the riders will pass through the middle of Wellington
Arch, before looping through London's most famous park, Hyde Park.
Finally the riders will pass back around Hyde Park Corner and along
Constitution Hill before ending on The Mall with Buckingham Palace as a
backdrop.
Stage One begins the next day, carving its way through some of Britain's
most picturesque and historic towns.
The race starts on The Mall, and passes through Dartford Gravesend and
on to Rochester, Maidstone, Tonbridge, Royal Tunbridge Wells, Tenterden
and Canterbury."
