Metropolitan Police Commissioner Cressida Dick has announced that London is one of the most safest cities in the world.
Speaking in the wake of last weekend’s atrocities, she said that the city “carries on”.
Ms Dick said:
“I would suggest to people that London is one of the safest cities on the planet but of course we want you to be vigilant.
“You will be seeing police, armed and unarmed, in areas where there are crowds and around the streets of London, possibly at a higher level than you have done before.
“You should feel reassured by that, but please don’t give in to terrorists and let’s go about our daily business.”
She went on to say that it included “whether you see something suspicious, you know somebody who has started to behave strangely, you are hiring a vehicle to somebody and you have concerns about them”.
She thanked all emergency services for their efforts.
