Re: Westminster
Can I ask people not to post wild speculation about what might or might not have happened? Thanks.

Re: Westminster
I'm just so glad I'm not in London! At least they've been released from the lockdown, now.

Re: Westminster
Westminster tube station is closed. Buses are stationary on the bridge. Traffic is diverted via Waterloo and Lambeth bridges. Whitehall and a number of roads are also closed, including The Mall and Constitution Hill - but all these (barring Westminster Bridge itself) remain open to pedestrians. The footbridges at Hungerford Bridge remain open, and people are using them. Several amateur film crews have set up on the southernmost of the Hungerford footbridges to film. There are two boats, one either side of the bridge, stopping river traffic from passing through. The Royal Festival Hall is closed.
Other than a heightened police presence, everything else functions as normal. It takes more than this to break London. See you at the Random 15.

Re: Westminster
What annoys me is how everyone's using the we are not afraid thing again. I mean, no, we're not, but why the Roundel? Surely Big Ben or London Eye would be better!

Re: Westminster
Because the Underground represents London in many people's minds. It's not your place to be annoyed by that.

Re: Westminster
So there's been a terrorism event which has resulted in deaths of civilians and officers, and numerous injuries, and the thing that is infuriating you the most is the fact that people are using a tube roundel as a sign of solidarity?
