With all the excitement in London, we just can't resist sharing more from the summer's "it" city. Around the city, we're joining in the festivities with everything from food to art.

Earlier this year, we shared details of Hyatt Regency London - The Churchill's exciting collaboration with Saatchi Gallery, widely-known for its contemporary art collections. The hotel has recently installed its second Saatchi Gallery exhibit inside the hotel, 'Making Waves: International Art from the Saatchi Gallery.'

Guests can peruse the hotel's lobby and restaurants to see the newest exhibit showcasing art from more than 10 different countries. With games top of mind, many pieces have a sports theme, including Scottish artist Lucy McKenzie's large-scale painting of gymnast Olga Korbut, South Korean artist Jin Myerson's painting of a cycling race and Congolese artist Kura Shomali's homage to Muhammad Ali.

To top it off, hotel visitors are welcomed by HM The Queen herself in a beautiful portrait created by British artist Chris Levine. Levine was taking more than 2,000 shots for Her Majesty's holographic portrait, and when she took a moment to rest, he captured this incredible image. The original hologram is in the National Portrait Gallery, and the portrait below in the hotel honors The Queen's Diamond Jubilee this year.

Will you be headed to London this summer?
