> I was in London during 7/7 and more recently the London bridge attack: foreigners were a little ruffled. Locals could not care less, or more exactly, expected to deviate at little as humanly possible from their routine and knew exactly how to get there because they expected everyone to know how to make that happen. It's worth remembering that, as with much of western Europe, terrorism had been a real threat for a significant part of second half of the 20th century. See, in London's case, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_terrorist_incidents_in_London https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_terrorist_incidents_in... ; almost every year from 1970–97 had attacks (and most years had a fairly large number of attacks). Terrorism, to some degree, was a matter of ordinary life.
