More from London

Well, it has been a huge day!

I think the whole city is in shock over the events. The bus bonb blast occurred in Tavistock Square - a place I now walk through every day to go to work. In fact, this morning I caught a bus from the square.

I am now working just outside of London these days. It only takes 45 minutes door-to-door usually. My trip home was exhausting, taking approximately four and a half hours.

All trains into London on my line were being terminated at Watford Junction. After speaking to staff at Watford Junction who told me that they weren't hopeful that trains were going to run at all today, I decided to find an alternative route home.

I got a bus from Watford Junction to Brent Cross Shopping Centre. There I stopped for lunch and a short break before heading south. Brent Cross is approximately 15 kms from our home, by car. I caught a bus at one stage for a kilometre or so.

My legs and feet are sore and tired but I am fine.

Getting to work might be interesting in the morning. I will have to take a long way around to Euston unless the police change where they blocked off. They have quite a large area around Russell Square and nearby Tavistock Square blocked off. And of course, just five or so block north of here is Kings Cross, which also has been closed off.
