Bad timing

I sure picked the wrong time to visit London. When I took yesterday's Eurostar train at 1pm, I noticed an unusual number of policemen at Gare du Nord. My brother had told me earlier that the tube wasn't running, but I had no idea until I stepped onto the train that London was attacked by terrorists.

The train was delayed for only 30 minutes. It was business as usual and I didn't notice any additional security measures on the train. I did see a couple of Eurostar staff walk along the wagons but they didn't ask for my ID or anything else.

Since public transportation was paralyzed, many people were waiting for cabs. Fortunately for me, my brother lives near St. Paul's, only a 30-minute walk from Waterloo station.

The streets were pretty much deserted last night. I'll see today if London is back to normal.
