Absolutely - London is ideal for the summer olympics
I've always loved footie in London because of the intimacy, sure, you don't want to drive to a football game and there's a cue for the tube afterwards, but blimey, the way 60,000 people are funnelled out of the emirates after the game is excellent. No city is better prepared for handling masses than London.
Olympics out in the sticks just because it's practical is silly, imo.
We have the transport, the accommodation, the restaurants and there's actually stuff for them
to do when they're not watching the games.
The school holidays also mean that a lot of people who usually commute into London won't be for the next few weeks.
