I’ve always loved London and its people, so my heart goes out to all who were affected by last week’s bombings. I’m even more sickened to realize that, a few months ago, my wife, daughter and I took the Underground to King’s Cross Station to snap a photo at the Harry Potter Platform 9 3/4. We also hopped on and off of London’s famed Double Decker Buses over the 8 days we toured the city. Both were targets last week.
All of us at Vagablond wish the Londoners well in carrying on with a stiff upper lip on the road to recovery in the long, strong British tradition. If you’re going soon to the UK this summer or fall, here’s the most popular Internet site for London to help you plan in advance.
