I was luckily working from home today. I do often travel on the tubes and buses in the area in question but was safe at home in N12 today.

My sister who works at the main BBC offices in white city thought she'd have a hard time getting home but the buses in that area down to SW17 were running again by the time she left work.

Other friends walked hours home and others still never got to work in the first place and some had a fairly hard day but I'm lucky that none of my nearest and dearest were hurt today.

Here, trying to decipher bus maps to figure out how to get to work tomorrow. I think I'll give up and walk.

Kavey, Glad to hear you and your family are ok!

Good luck to all Londoners who'll be out commuting Friday morning. We'll be thinking of you!

sadly if robespierre had not started slanting the original thread to politics, we could still see all the london fodorites who posted....but some people can't help themselves

Hi OWJ, Patrick London posted a thread today titled "Paris Without A Backache".

Take good care!

Glad to hear PatrickLondon is ok and am hoping everyone else is too.

I'm just practicing to be a good Jewish mother--please, if you're in London, check in.

I'm here. Surreal walk home through a very quiet central London last night.

I had a friend on the Kings Cross tube train - she's shaken but ok.

Hi, I'm here, fit (or as fit as I deserve to be!) and well.

Just heard that one of my clients was on the Edgware Road train but is unhurt - and another friend just missed getting on the Aldgate one.

Rather brings it home. Thank you all for your kind thoughts.

Hi Tallulah
I'm glad you and your friends are OK. (and everyone else who responds from London)
Just wanted you to know how much I loved your joking comment about Moorgate/Margate yesterday.
I love your humour, and I just shared it with an old friend in London, and we had a good chuckle!.
