I was just looking at the Wikimania 2006 articles, and was reminded

2007 in the UK!
Indeed
I beleive there were comments that London was too expensive compared
to other cities and others weren't internationally connected enough.
So we'd need to put a good bid together, possibly for somewhere like
Glasgow or Birmingham. If London then it would have to be somewhere
between Heathrow/Gatwick/Stanstead (possibly) and Central London
that had good links to the capital and the airport. Althoguh I
suspect those are going to be prime (==expensive) conference
venues...

I thought the Queen Mary bid was very competitive, and the costs
cheaper than many of the alternative (e.g. Reading).
I am sure that Boston will be cheap (not!)...
