Considering the recent warnings, I am wondering what the thoughts are of people living in London and others that are planning a trip to London. Plans are to go Oct. 11.

Thanks

As a safety precaution, they have decided to close the UK under all safety concerns can be resolved. It is expected to reopen sometime in 3514.

Seriously, go and enjoy your trip already. You are in far more danger of getting run over crossing the street (especially given the cars are on the wrong side of the road.)

There are no specific warnings - which US media does a HORRIBLE job of explaining. But why be factual???

Relax. Enjoy.

please replace the word "under" with "until".

Well, I've been to London a month after 9/11 and a month after 7/7 and lived to tell the tale! Really, chances are it's okay-just use normal common sense and go with your gut instinct. Londoners have lived with the IRA bombings for years and many have to commute by train and subway.

You're in more danger of being hit by a left turning cab in London than terrorism. Enjoy and I'm envious.

You are more likely to win the lottery or kill yourself brushing your teeth than be killed in a terrorist attack.

Being blown up by an Evul Islumist Turrist is probably the least of your worries

My thoughts of living in London today as I prepare to leave for my office (located across from Victoria Station) are as follows -

I REALLY don't want to go to work today
I can't believe I don't have a single pair of tights without holes in them
Don't forget to leave 20 quid for the cleaner
I need to pay the water bill

Those are all my thoughts at the moment.

Don't forget tonight's GTG lizzie! Have a good day. See you later.

Ha! That can be the one bit of good news to look forward to today ;-)

I am one of those unfortunate people who dice with danger by living in the UK - good thing I'm going to Italy today.

MI5 <b>BELIEVE there is a high likelihood </b> of a terrorist attack somewhere in Britain.

But I <b>KNOW there's a 100% certainty </b> there'll be a car crash some time on the road I drive along for one of my routes into London: there are signs all along telling me how many accidents there've been in the past three years.

2,200 people were killed in UK traffic accidents last year. Not a single person died or was injured in a terrorist-related incident on the UK mainland.

In spite of the certainty of accidents on the roads I use, my chances of being in one are so trivial I don't waste time thinking about it. So why should I waste mental energy on something infintely less likely?

I arrived in London today, and was even curious if security would be tighter at passport control, but I saw no evidence of that. I'm not at all concerned. But three days ago I had a complete tour of Saigon from the back of a motorcycle. Hey if I can do that, I can face terrorist threats!

If you don't go the terrorists win.

stuff and nonsense. It's lovely and sunny.

"You're in more danger of being hit by a left turning cab in London than terrorism."

You're in more daneger of being hit because you looked left rather than right when you stepped off the kerb

Many thanks. Will be making the trip and having a great UK experience. Weather looks great.

I just spent the best part of 2 days in London and I've survived!

Come, and have a great time.

So glad you decided to keep your plans. We were there when the warnings were announced a few days ago and did notice a little more visible security around major tourist sites, but that is a good thing. There are no guarantees in this world but a guarantee is not needed to have a wonderful time in one of the most beautiful and dynamic cities in the world.
