The streets of London seem to be as busy as ever (with lots of tourists right now), in spite of the recent terrorist incidents. And the Tube seemed to be having a normal day (Central Line closed between Leytonstone and Marble Arch for awhile due to someone jumping in front of a train at Liverpool Street Station, the Bakerloo Line service suffering a "points failure", and no doubt other similarly routine problems on other lines).
There were more police all over the place, and Buckingham Palace and the London Eye also had increased security relative to a couple of years ago (e.g. they took "sharp objects" off of people, although, unlike the airports, they handed them back at the end of the visit).
