There have been at least 10 terror attacks in London in the past decade, but the authorities here have not told anyone it’s unsafe to visit.
But in the case of UK citizens travelling abroad, the Foreign Office advice that is typically issued following attacks is often criticised for being over-cautious and, in particular, over-extended.
It must baffle some nations when the FCDO continues to caution citizens against travel to foreign lands long after – years, sometimes – an incident has taken place and other nations have returned.
