Whether you've chosen to visit the Olympics or feel like you're stranded in IOC occupied London, you need up to date travel information so you can avoid the crowds. A new app for Windows Phone 7, aptly called Games Travel Chaos (Games TC for short), takes the well-known London tube map with a superimposed heat-map indicating delays at each station.

The tube is only one way of getting around London though - there are buses, taxis, and bicycles for hire; all of which are presented in another Windows Phone 7 app, London Travel Live. This app gives you live information about tube train status, your Oyster card balance, live traffic updates, bus routes, and information on hiring bicycles.

Additionally, there is an integrated Transport for London (TfL) journey planner, and live tile support for tube stations and bus routes. Fortunately, most information is cached for looking up when you're offline too.

London Travel Live has a free trial and costs £0.79, as does Games TC. Therefore, give that London Travel Live gives you far more information and functionality for the same low price, it gets our recommendation as the app to navigate your way through Olympic London.
