Nope, it doesn't look like that's going to happen.

I know the ocean would've been neat and more challenging, but the Serpentine will offer great spectator viewing like Beijing, but quite a bit colder. I was there this summer and -- admittedly being a cold-wimp from Arizona -- couldn't get myself to jump in without a wetsuit.
I'm just hoping I can swing it to be there in 4 years ... as a spectator. Assuming they get their transport and sports facilities up to par, London should be ideal for the Olympics ... even if you can't get into events, there's so much great to do there.
