Fires Over London and airports

Fires Over London and airports

Just from looking at the Telegraph's map of the riots, it doesn't look as if any are close to the airports, so there probably won't be any immediate effects. Travel to London is likely to drop, big time, so if the situation continues I wouldn't be surprised to see some flight cancellations.
