They do have a press release on it from last week (27th) that is not online. I'll post the url when they put it online. The details:

They are announcing that it has opened an office in London, England, and will work to deliver unrivalled targeted advertising programmes and search service.

Omid Kordestani, Senior Vice President of Business Development and Sales for Google said: "Google recognises that the UK is an important market for advertising opportunities and that as internet users become increasingly sophisticated, we have to find more efficient ways to target them
...
Google has employed a dedicated advertising sales team in London and has appointed Kate Burns as Head of Advertising Sales in the UK. Burns has extensive experience in this market, and was responsible for the ad sales divisions at AltaVista, ZDNet/Yahoo! and DoubleClick.

Thanks Brett.

Clearly, Google sees the UK advertising opportunities as potentially lucrative.
