Summerji...we had gone on Europe trip and we were in London when these riots had started...we were staying near the airport and we did not even find out for the first few days about these riots and found out about them the night before we were to leave London...thank God for that...had I known we would have come straight back home...lol...I guess they were in the subarbs of London because we really didn't feel anything unusual...

heathrow airport i assume?, that's in the far south-west corner of london, nothing happened around that area... it started off in north london, in a neighbouring town to where i live, it then moved into my area and surrounding areas, it then started kicking off in other parts of london like the south and west.. and then moved onto to other smaller cities like birmingham lol

so you was far away from all the action 😆

Wow Blue ice ji you were saved. Must have been real panic for your friends n relatives.
Yes London is a relatively large area 660 sq miles or 1706 sg kilometers. More than double Singapore 247 sq miles. New York is 468 sq miles.

Yes Summerji they were concerned for us...several days later when we got to check our mails and FB there were messages asking us to be safe..
