    Well I'll be driving into London, again, in a few days time and it doesn't worry me at all. The only concern I have is an irate Leaver keying the car because it has Germany plates (which is actually why I pay for private parking...) London is a large city and I suspect you're more likely to get mugged than attacked by a person fueled on religious fantasies...
    Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.

      You are more likely to die driving to the airport than you are to be killed in a terrorist attack.

      Don't give in to hate.

        London is probably the last place an "irate leaver" will key your car. Half the cars here have foreign plates, mostly Eastern European variations, German will be a bit of a novelty, but you should be fine. Most of us Leavers are only allowed out under supervision.
        And you're right about the muggers, the ones on scooters are the latest thing. If you have a flash mobile, don't use it while out walking, nip into a doorway or something.

          Central London is gorgeous it's unique and for my children who live in a quiet village it's an eye opener

          So no doubts about staying in cogent garden

          Just don't want to become a statistic

          If you love it then go for it! I personally wouldn't, given the choice I'd pick somewhere a little way away from the tourist centres, but still walkable. Hope you have a great time, Beansey!!

            Isn't nicking mobile phones the largest crime in the UK now? I know when I'm there I never leave it on the table in a cafe or pub which I do here with impunity...I saw that about scooters, not nice at all especially the video I saw of one of the attacks.

            I'm actually more worried about driving my car is some other European countries than the UK but recent trips have seen more hostile gestures made, in particular WVM...

              Some of the cheaper thieves still use push bikes which they have nicked.

                  yes that's the thing, I grew up with the IRA threat, dad because of his job had to look under his car every evening in the railway station car park and make sure there wasn't a surprise waiting - it was normal

                  when you live with it, in the thick of it every day you don't think about

                  when you are away from it, then it becomes a worry, that that one time you go somewhere you're one of the unlucky ones

                  so yes I see both sides of the argument
