Wenlock and Mandeville were created as offical mascots for the Olympic games. Wenlock for the Olympics and Mandeville for the Para Olympics. They have their own webpage.There are dozens and dozens of the mascots around the city. Mandeville has 25,000 internet friends and comes into his own now when the Paralympic start next week. I can't help but think this punk version looks like Boris Johnson ... might be the hair!

It was a clever idea to create these mascots to help people find their way around.
LOL he's adorable!!!
Haha, I see it! I'm sure he'd be pleased by the comparison :)
I can clearly see the resemblance;-)
Always though old Boris had a rather one-eyed view of the world.
I didn't like these one-eyed things at first but they have grown on me and now I think they're rather cute.
Maybe I am in a minority, but I thought that these figures were probably the least successful part of the Olympics.
Haha! there is that certain something about him Mo!
