I was scheduled to fly out of Heathrow on Aug. 10th, my flight got canceled and left the next day the air post was packed, but England is possibly one of the most amazing places on Earth, and you shouldn't let what some crazy people wanted to do scare you into not going, by being scared you are giving the terrorists what they want. If anything it just means that everything is going to be that much safer.

London is awesome. I've loved my time here.
Hi, Here's what I always pass along re: what to see in London!
Wear good walking shoes because London is a superb walking city. Bring a good map of the city and begin. Be a happy tourist and first hop on one of the major red double decker tour buses which afford you a perfect overview of London and you can "hop on and off" as often as you please...some for two days! I love www.theoriginaltour.com ! Highlights (see www.londonwalks.com): National Gallery, Trafalgar Square, Tate Modern Museum, London Eye, Covent Gardens (great shops n restaurants), St. Paul's Cathedral, Westminster Abbey, Buckingham Palace, see a play!, Harrods, Harvey Nichols, Tower of London.
Know London has many beautiful parks which can be your oasis when needing a rest. Kensington Gardens in one of the world's wealthiest areas - See Princess Di's Kensington Palace and shop Kensington High St. and wander up Church St. for boutiques and such. Nearby: Royal Albert Hall, Science Museum, Natural History Museum and Victoria & Albert Museum. Hyde Park connects to Kensington Gardens. Explore Chelsea for boutiques as well. St. James Park - beautiful, sole restaurant inside. Green Park - high tea at the Ritz, Fortnum & Mason, Picadilly Circus (think Times Square). Shopping streets: Oxford, Bond, check for weekly markets...BUY "TIMEOUT LONDON" weekly magazine. Boat trip on the Thames - a must. Don't forget - you can take the EUROSTAR Chunnel train to Brussels or Paris for day trips (2.5 hrs +/- each way!) Hope this helps. Have a fantastic time! :)

I live in London and regularly cross Tower Bridge and through Trafalgar Square. It seems to me that these places are buzzing as ever with tourists. Last week's scare doesn't seem to have stopped people.

I wish I could. But we are still paying off last year's trip to Ireland and Scotland.

yes. we only had one inconvenience when a supspicious package caused our tube line to stop for about 30 minutes (at the station).

Sure, the place is full of tourists. But don't worry, the natives are friendly. (Well, most of them, anyway.)
