London is a city of people that just want to get home on time

I couldn't have said it better myself *. There's no panic on the Underground, no commuter terror as the threat level climbs to critical and then back to severe. I don't know whether it's the much-claimed Blitz spirit, or whether it's a big city mentality, but I seem to have lived here long enough to just get on with things, like everyone else. I do like seeing extra police on the streets and in the stations though.
* Oh, who am I kidding, the pedant in me would have said 'who' not 'that'.

So true...All I can think about is getting to work on time, then once I'm there, all I can think about is getting home as quick as poss. It's all too stressful. Especially using Oxford Circus station. Nightmare. X
