It worked in Baltimore with Camden Yards and then everyone jumped on board, only to realize that for the most part it winds up looking pretty average.
As for London, I don't believe any of the many venues built for the Olympics were Victorian in style, as that would have been ridiculous. London milks it's actual history, it doesn't build new buildings and pretend they're historic.

I agree that would have been rediculous. Can someone explain to me though, how the Saddledome was built in a "Western" style? It's not a fircken log cabin or chuck wagon tarp? It's a weird shape, and someone decided to NAME it, the Saddledome, but even back in they, no one was constructing a historic western building, nothing in or outside the Saddledome looks remotely western.
