I must dissagree after being there for a day I would not want to go to Paris again!! The subway stunk like sewage, the stations were hard to find, the language barrier is tough to cope with, there were a lot of beggars asking for money, etc. Whereas in London it was the exact opposite, not to many beggar/homeless people, no language barrier, nice, clean, not smelly subways(Mind The Gap) and when I went last year it wasn't to crowded and you could find your way around pretty easily, SO I am game for London, England.
My experience in Paris (in 1999) was that the subway was easy to use, though it was a bit odiferous in some locations. For the most part, I found the people to be surprisingly accomodating of people like myself who know very little French.

That said, London would also be a very fun and interesting place to have an event, for many of the same reasons as Paris, and as you say, communication would be easier in London. There are even a few UK teams, aren't there?
