I don't remember how much teh relative prices of Reading/Queen Mary were.
Also when comparing cities liek London/Boston you can't take into account
the cost of getting there as its vastly different. Getting to Boston for
those living west of the pond (and probably eastern asia as well) will be
cheaper than getting to europe. The situation will be reversed for them
getting to Lodon of course - which is why this year's wikimania isn't in
Europe.
