I live in London and theres definitely no lack of conference facilities or tourist activities, as well as an extensive if occasionally unreliable public transport system. If this is over a weekend of course, there is a large chance that several lines or sections of lines on the Tube will shut down for engineering work.
Is there space for an external links section on the nomination page? wikitravel.org/en/London, tfl.gov.uk and visitlondon.com etc

I wasn't sure if I was "allowed" to make the unofficial bid official bid myself, but seeing as there are two other bids listed officially I thought we should not let it slip us by. :) http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimania_2008/London is not very informative currently. I will try and add to it today - the Cape Town bidhttp://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimania_2008/Bids/Cape_Town[1] has lots of sections and ideas to think about we can use ourselves. [2]
If I read the stuff on Meta correctly, we have nine days to make an official bid into the running, then until the end of September to finalise.
Let's do it people!

Yeah, just add them on. If you live in London, and know of a good location for the conference, you could propose it as well.
Please go ahead and add it! Maybe whoever got in touch with UCL last year could do so again, pointing out the 2007 bid page - 'you said this last year, any chance of a repeat?'. I think people want to work with and be associated with Wikimedia and Wikimedia UK, and we should embrace that - this is our chance.
