Main problem with Arial at any weight and/or at any size is it always looks like ass. One point size smaller and it'd be bearable, not so obscenely fugly it makes you weep in hyperbolic pain but enough it doesn't draw attention.
I think dropping the word 'London' from the link and keeping the '2012' would be better. At the moment it's now a very big link and has made the search box a bit too small.
I noticed that the main sports page on the beta sub-domain includes the 2012 logo...
- http://beta.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/ ...it also highlights the problem of the search box being reduced in size.

I wouldn't be surprised at some point to see the radio header from http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio/ appear at the top of the new programme pages, though for some reason the header on that radio homepage has been shifted down slightly, leaving a gap between it and the main header, which looks a bit untidy to me.
Also you can now personalise the stations that appear on the radio homepage, although it struggles to remember my selection and keeps reverting to the default line-up.

I note that they still haven't sorted the Live pages issue.
It's pretty poor stuff, they went from a system that worked well to one that has failed several times and has now been replaced with a simple page of text, complete with "please refresh this page for updates". Awful.
