What's it like living in London at the moment?
I don't mean to be exclusionary or seem to be ignoring the danger that all britons are facing at the moment, but I figure if there's hysteria and unease to be tapped, it'd be best to look to London.

my town is a commuter town for london, and there's been some bomb scares here - i think mainly due to over-vigilance and slight panic.

in fairness, there were bombs and shootings on a daily basis here in Northern Ireland for 25 years. if it happens in England the press go banannas, i'm not saying it's should be normal or that it's not news worthy, just pointing out how tremendously London/England centric the news is.

People are more annoyed than anything. Luckily i only get on the central line and the docklands light railway so i haven't been affected travel wise.. there is definately a weird vibe on the trains though - i wouldn't like to be an asian with rucksack..

I'm a londoner and I have to say it has become the single most annoying thing especially when you find yourself having to walk home because a station has been closed due to bomb scares. At least if I knew why they were trying to blow us up then I might not be so pissed off.
First chav culture and now this!!
