State of flux? The UK government? Never!
It might also be worth looking to local government i.e. The mayor/assembly (www.london.gov.uk) and the LDA (www.lda.gov.uk) they seem to fund things in London that are considered worthy (eg London Film Festival, London Mela etc)
"Considered worthy" being the operative phrase here. Then again, hosting Wikimania 2008 would significantly raise London's profile for a while, and it'd help reinforce that image of a nice, happy, friendly, cultured city they're so desperate to cultivate...
