BBC News - What the world thinks of London 2012

BBC News - What the world thinks of London 2012: "As the London Olympics enters its last few days, how has the world's media been assessing this two-week festival of sport? What image of London and the UK is being presented overseas?

Russia will host the next winter Olympics in Sochi, and a cheerful correspondent in the left-leaning daily Trud was impressed by the "romantic megalopolis" that is London, although not by its culinary standards.

"Today's London is the most sporting and the most fashionable city, which gets the most mentions in global media. It has the attention of the entire planet. If you're not there yet, buy your tickets right away. Sure, you won't make it to the Olympics, but you can still make the most of this romantic megalopolis."
