..."shocked but calm, going about their business as usual"...

That's a good enough description - for those of us fortunate enough to not be directly affected or harmed. The UK, and London in particular, has a long history of coping with tragic events of this nature. Shortly after lunch BBC Radio 4 - probably the authoritative news source in the country - returned to it's normal programme scheduling with The Archers. Nothing gets in the way of The Archers. As a colleague described it - it is a cup of tea for the nation.

In work now, and in the Old Street area just 10 minutes from Moorgate and the heart of the City - and probably across all of London I expect - everything is so very, very quiet.
