Some London postcards

Looking West with the London Eye (big wheel) on the left. The Tower and Clock Tower together are on the Houses of Parliament - the clock being Big Ben. Then there's Westminster Abbey just to the right of that. The bridge in the foreground is Charing Cross railway & footbridge. Our trains go into Charing Cross

Now looking East toward St Paul's Cathedral with the City of London's business district to the right

And our target for the day... The Globe theatre - a reconstruction of how it was in Shakespeare's day

Pictures from inside later :)

I am saddened to hear about what may be another terrorist attack in London. :( I hope all our U.K. Members are safe. Prayers to the injured and their families. :( :( :(
Thanks Bea. This looks like it took everyone by surprise in that there was no intelligence warnings of an imminent incident so no news of possible motives yet.
Terrible and very sad for all concerned. I popped in to see if Linda had been posting - I am hoping that she and hubby were on their way home and well away from London by now. Let us know @JoesMum !!
Also hoping that my nephew and his wife and one of my cousins who all live in middle of London weren't out and about tonight. I have text him but not had a reply yet.

@JoesMum, hoping you and your family are safely home.
We are fine :)

We were safely home. Son was further up the train line at Charing Cross and other than having to walk most of the way back to his flat is OK too.

The attack was at Borough Market and on the road bridge. JoesDad and I walked past Borough Market, now a foodie hotspot, heading for London Bridge station about 4pm yesterday... as we do so often. The Market was packed as it always is.

Having been through the IRA problems in the city in the 1980s, including being on a train at London Bridge when the bomb went off and working for Lloyd's whose building is next door to the CU building that got bombed, the city will just carry on and you end up walking a lot more as security alerts close the underground more frequently.

The city won't stop. It will become more careful. I just hope it doesn't impact the tourists too badly.
