It appears the reason the namefinder is not finding London is because 
... it was been deleted on Wednesday (it still shows up on Mapnik of 
course, but it isn't there in the data any more).

It was deleted by user FilipeOliveira at 2008-11-26T17:27:06 according 
to the daily diffs which I just grepped.

Is this the same guy who moved lots of London nodes to Portugal? Is this 
deliberate vandalism, a wild accident or a software bug?

Looking at the diff, it would appear that user "randomjunk" was trying 
to repair the damage done by FilipeOliveira  at the same time as he was 
creating more havoc. Please can we suspend this user from making any 
further changes at least until we can find out what the problem is.

PS for repair purposes, this diff lists the former London node as
