We weren't directly affected by the London riots although I hear some shops in the Beckenham High Street were attacked and some looting occurred in Bromley. On a later night, a number of bin fires were started at numerous local shops (e.g. Tesco Express).
Still, I am glad that, fingers crossed, it seems to be over. It was a bit insane to live through and found myself glued to the TV until the early hours of the morning on Tuesday night.
