If you stay exclusively in any of Britain's big cities, no countryside AT ALL, should one feel confident in making plans?

I am trying to decide if I want to go to London this July or Glasgow in October. If I just stay in the city, should I feel relatively safe making travel plans?

Greg:
Are you referring to the F&M problem? If so, regardless of how bad it gets, I can't imagine there would ever be any problem visiting the major cities in the UK and Ireland. There is a request to travellers to avoid the countryside but restrictions on vistors to cities will never happen.
I'll be in London next week and if I hear of any problem, I'll let you know.

Greg, Mary:
Check the following web-site for updates.

If you intend to travel to cities only, it is unlikley that your trip will be affected in any way. Hopefully, in the next 14 days they will manage to contain it.

P.S. Mary ... are you the same Mary who wants to know "best movies about Paris"?

The F&M problem should not affect your trip - all usual city attractions are open at present and hopefully this should clear up by the time you visit. At present, many public footpaths ARE closed, also Dartmoor/Exmoor, some wildlife parks, farms (obviously), Richmond and parts of Windsor Great Park (to protect the deer) and most National Trust properties. But that still leaves most other attractions and you can always drive through the country/coast if you want to!

Marion - I'm sure Greg knows his health won't be in danger, but his travel plans might be. If many countryside attractions are closed and that's what he wanted to see in addition to the cities - it might not be the best time to go. Look at the people who have had plans for months to be in Dublin for the Paddy's Day festivites and are now disappointed because they have been cancelled. I don't think Greg's question was unreasonable.

F&M wont affect cities.
Those travelling to London soon should expect a very high level of security, some Irish have just blown up the BBC (badly injuring a passerby) & have more planned, it is thought.Could be over by the time you arrive Greg.
NB these events don't affect Scotland.
