Of course not. It is lit in Greece and carried to the country hosting the games
The Olympic flame signifies the value of Peace and Brotherhood which is the basis of the Olympics.
The olympic flame is always first lit in the ancient Greek city of Olympia, where the games originate from. This year - 2012 it was lit in the ancient Greek city on May 2012 and was then taken across the country and finally handed over to the British officials, for the London 2012 Games, in the Greek capital, Athens but it was never lit there and it was most definitely not lit in the English city - Slough as mentioned in the previous answer.
The flame of the Olympic torch always travels from Greece, where it is lit, to the host country.
