Security alert' at Blackfriars as police block roads

There seems to be a security alert much closer to home. A tweet warns that armed police are out near Southwark station, just south of the River Thames in London.

No. We were planning on going to Turkey next year though which has now changed. I would take risks with myself no bother, especially with how cheap some places are right now, but I don't feel right risking the kids. I know the chance of something happening is very small, but it is a very real risk and I just can't do it.

We have also recently left the kids at home with grandma when we went to the metrocentre as Gav has it in his head that London won't be hit..it will be elsewhere, and Metro is evacuated for bomb threats all the time :S

Not made any plans personally as I don't get out much.
I have asked daughter to keep away from London and when she comes Back home up North to stay away from the Metro.
But in reality you have to try and lead as normal a life as possible or the bstds have won.

At 13:44hrs on Saturday, 21 November, officers stopped a vehicle on Blackfriars Road at the junction with Cambridge Circus.

The occupants of the vehicle - three men - were arrested.

Local road closures are in place.

Enquires continue.

bit squeamish to go on a plane to japan in march but other than that, not really.
i'm a bit more reluctant to go to places like the trafford centre and that as i've heard rumours that it's on red alert so yeah

We are off to Nicaragua in a couple of weeks, have to travel through Houston but I reckon it's a low threat. I would think twice however if I were going to any major city in Europe.

Saying that, I do commute on a London line, and it does scare me.

personally i'd feel safer in Paris, at least i couldn't understand everyone around me, so i wouldn't be paranoid about what others were saying. as an American i feel like London is a much bigger target than Paris.

Going to Berlin in three weeks... a bit nervous but I'm going anyway.

Okay so last weekend some girlfriends and I went to the Christmas Market in York, the place was heaving pubs and restaurants full, some police presence in the station and in the market itself.

Last night went to the illusionists in London with the family, we went for a meal in a half empty restaurant and got a seat in the window which other diners must have declined :worry: the theatre did a bag search (which is new) but there were rows of empty seats which is pretty unusual for a show with a short run, on the way home on the tube my son overheard a white man telling an Asian man not to go to Leicester Square or Oxford Circus today or tomorrow but then he was also telling him about auditioning for the X factor so on balance we felt he was just nervy rather than had any intelligence :worry:
