London After the Bombings: A Useful Compilation of Information For Travelers on Re-bookings and Cancellations Policies (note: plagiarized)...
Although plagiarized, there is a lot of useful information here, on policies regarding re-bookings, cancellations and the like:

There will be those with legitimate needs to re-book or re-schedule.
Best wishes,

I haven't read the link, but notice it looks like your home page.
If you wrote the material originally, then it isn't plagiarized. You cannot plagiarize yourself. That was told to me by a newspaper reporter.
If you didn't write the material, but get proper credit, I wouldn't worry about plagiarism.
Anyway, that's a long way to say TTT because I'm sure the information is important, and the post was dropping towards 50.

I suspect those who decide to cancel or re-book might find it of some use; perhaps more so if the city hadn't bounced back so quickly and a bunch of hotels had been damaged.
Hopefully most people will continue with their plans.

I agree that few plans will need to be changed - - especially among "the merry band" here.
In some cases, a person might want to get to England SOONER... to aid, or comfort, or take care of business, or whatever...
Hopefully, they would accommodate that also.

Since I have committed one instace of plagiarim already anyhow, I will take the liberty of excerpting (and plagiarizing) the following portions of a thread, posted by Ben Haines today, on <i>travel-related</i> effects of security concerns in London this month (this summer? this century?)
======================
Two correspondents on this forum have asked me privately for notes helpful to intending visitors to London. I am writing those notes again for readers in general. I know that people with strong views will not agree with me, but can take the small risk of silly comments, and shall positively welcome comments from people who have been here during July (not hearsay) or can comment with balance, rather than with narrow-minded enthusiasm.
The present events affect visitors in two ways. First, entry to the great collections is more tightly controlled. Normally this slows down ones entry, so anyone going to a talk in the National Gallery, National Portrait Gallery, Tate Modern or Tate Britain can expect a ten minute line (queue) to get in. The National Gallery has airport-style survey arches. You put your keys in a tray, and walk through an arch. On the other hand, I went on Saturday to the British Museum for a talk on pre-Moslem Arabic inscriptions. There things have speeded up, as they have moved their control tables to the outer gate, and you enter faster than you used to.
Second, various tube lines were closed for two days or so each, while police carried out an inch by inch forensic survey. There are details posted at every station, and you just take a different tube station or line, or a bus. A bus is often a good idea anyway for the good views from the top. Traffic is a little thinner, so moves faster (but still not fast, thank goodness).
Obviously, if a policeman tells you to stop you stop.
