orchestrapal Posted May 25, 2017 #4 Share Posted May 25, 2017 The main change you, as a tourist, will see away from the major government sights and buildings is bags being opened at all museums and theatres and more foot police. It is very normal in all other respects and the weather is perfect. Everyone should come and visit and support the British people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare debsjc Posted May 26, 2017 Author #9 Share Posted May 26, 2017 For anyone visiting, you may see army troops around key sites. Don't be concerned, they are just there as an added protection. Please still visit, and enjoy your vacations :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone should come and visit and support the British people. What a terrible tragedy, our hearts go out to the victims' families and the British people, stay strong! Of course none of this will keep us from travelling, we don't let the terrorists dictate where we go. My family should be in London this time next week and we're looking forward to spending 3 glorious weeks in the UK and Ireland. One request though, please hold on tight to the perfect weather:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrivesLikeMario Posted May 28, 2017 #15 Share Posted May 28, 2017 Good to hear, thank you. We in London with our sons right after the July, 2005 bombings. It was the BEST experience having all those police officers on the streets! We were SO impressed with how helpful they were! They gave excellent directions and were really thorough explaining things to you. I've missed them ever since! So if you're going - don't worry at all. It could be a very good thing!
