For the SWTWC tour (2005 and 2006), the West End run was actually announced in the first year.
Due to a large number of new productions in 2007 (so the story goes), there was no suitable London venue for last year. I don't know why they didn't do any shows anywhere, even in Wimbledon or Croydon, but they seem to be going for bigger theatres now.
I was hoping to make the trek to Reading, but their booking system was ridiculous, and we couldn't get tickets anywhere decent (they had some, but we weren't allowed to book them for reasons too ludicrous to go into). My girlfriend and I decided that, rather than get seats we didn't want (especially as the ones we did want were actually not booked), Reading could poke it, and we'd just have to hope for some London shows.
Anyway, I've heard that they have concluded, or are very close to concluding, a deal to secure a London theatre run this year.
