Ahead of the start of London 2012, we reported how events like the Jubilee weekend and the Olympic and Paralympic Games made it a good time to invest in hotel furniture.
Now there's further evidence that those purchases of hotel furniture helped to cater for the influx of fans attending the events of this summer.
This time around, praise has been given - albeit begrudgingly - to the hospitality trade by one London estate agent who did not see the expected 'cash cow' of tenants for short-term lets during the summer months.
Greater London Properties reports: "Many landlords over-excitedly evicted long-term profitable tenants, in the hope they would make their millions through short lets.
"In hindsight, this was short-sighted - yes there was an influx of tourists, but nothing the hotels couldn't handle."
CEO Robert Hill predicts that the success of the hospitality industry could lead to greater supply in the housing market as properties are put up for sale or rent - meaning the Olympic legacy, and the outcome of those investments in hotel furniture, could be very positive for first-time buyers in the city.
As this helps the capital's property market to pick up pace, Mr Hill adds: "Hopefully it will be a Mo-Farah-like finish to 2012!"
