The preferred bidder to take over the press and broadcast centres at the Olympic Park will be launching a consultation next Friday.

iCITY wants to turn the venues into a digital hub to support the UK's creative industries.

It will be hosting four days of exhibitions from March 15, before submitting a planning application to the London Legacy Development Corporation.

The exhibitions will be at the Cre8 Lifestyle centre in Hackney for the first two days, and at the Hackney Service Centre on Monday and Tuesday.

iCity said the development will create over 6,500 jobs - 4,000 directly at site.

Gavin Poole, CEO of iCITY, said: "I want to extend an invitation to anyone with an interest in their local area to come and hear more about how we're going to transform the buildings.

"This is a hugely exciting project and I look forward to meeting more local residents and community groups to continue the conversation about iCITY's plans."

Friday's event will be from 10.30am-8pm. Saturday's is 10am-4pm. Monday and Tuesday is from 9am-5pm.
