London can take it

A word to the wise. If you look around the city of London at the moment, contrary to media suggestions that the city is on heightened terror alert, you will also see several signs around the West End and elsewhere saying "everyone welcome". It is a symbol of the city's indomitable spirit: London endured a Blitz and many other dangers besides. Just like New York, it is a city that goes on ceaselessly, in spite of its many perils over the years.
