Despite the eerily deserted streets of central London, arts and entertainments bosses are reporting very mixed fortunes during the Olympic Games. Some - such as the British Museum, where visitor numbers are down by 25% and some West End theatres down by a third - have seen visitor numbers plunge since the Games started, but others, including the National Theatre, report business as good as last year, with near full houses every night.
