I found this on the BBC web site, that I think sums it up quite nicely, an account from someone in central London:

"...what amazed me was the atmosphere in the streets of London as everyone was walking home in the afternoon. The feeling of sheer defiance bordered on a buzz - strangers were walking together and talking to one another - it was almost as though we Londoners were saying to our attackers "you will never bring us down". I feel very proud to be a Londoner, and my heart goes out to the people who have really suffered. "

This is on the afternoon of the same day as the attack!

I also had to laugh of a guy talking about going on the tube today, where everything seemed normal, apart from one guy carrying a bag saying 'Up Yours, Osama'

First smile I've had since all this kicked off, reading that!
