I have two tour jobs booked that day (Walking tour Bankside &
Blackfriars afternoon and South Bank in the evening.) One of the
clients is keen for this to go ahead, the other is wavering and looking
to *me* for advice.


You're probably OK as long as you keep out of the square mile, but there
are reports in the press that protesters will attempt to bring transport
to a halt by leaving unattended packages on tube trains, which would
prove a big problem if your customers are expecting to arrive and depart
by tube.

Frankly, I don't *know* what to tell them. I risk losing work or I
risk disruption or even harm.


I'm sure the Met would advise if you rang them, but they'll probably say
"better to cancel". It was reported on the lunchtime news today that the
Met have circulated businesses in the city recommending that staff don't
come in if at all possible.
