Wenlock is the official mascot for the 2012 Summer Olympics, and Mandeville is the official mascot for the 2012 Summer Paralympics, both held in London, England, United Kingdom.[1] Named after Much Wenlock and Stoke Mandeville, they were created by Iris, a London-based creative agency.[1][2] The mascots were unveiled on 19 May 2010,[3] marking the second time (after Vancouver's Miga, Quatchi, Sumi and Mukmuk) that both Olympic and Paralympic mascots were unveiled at the same time.
