When we arrived back at the hotel after the Kraftwerk concert we were dismayed to find out that there has been another terrorist attack, this time on London Bridge and in Southwark in London. Seven people have been killed and forty-eight have been injured. Readers of this blog will know that Southwark is one of my favourite areas of London, and we usually stay in the Premier Inn there because it is such a vibrant area with lots of pubs and restaurants, some right on the banks of the Thames. It's also handy for Borough Market and the Globe Theatre and is across the river from St Paul's. So James and I have walked the streets where last night's attacks took place many times, and we have seen (and indeed been numbered among) the innocent crowds of revellers who frequent the pubs on weekend evenings. It's disgusting that anyone would target people who were just enjoying a night out, and were such an easy target. I don't know what the answer is to these terrorist attacks; that's three in three months (London, Manchester, and now London again.)
