I've lived in central London for all of my 55 years and the reason today for armed police placed in important places is due to terrorist threats. Street rubbish bins were removed or sealed in central London after the bombing of Selfridges in the 80's.
The UK is the only place in the world where the regular police force are unarmed. London is still one of the safest cities in the world to visit. The major problem here is the price of smokes at around US$8.30 + a pack of 20 and of course gas which is about the same for an imperial gallon which is larger than the US gallon..
Come to the UK and taste our superb food.. We have Burger Kings, Pizza Huts and even McDonalds these days ... LOL
