LONDON (AP) - Tourists braved initial fears to visit London's greatest attractions Friday, using the subway system a day after deadly terrorist blasts tore through the city's transport system and giving hope to businesses that the financial ill-effects would be short-lived.
"It's not going to happen again, not today," said 22-year-old Nathan Jones, an Australian gazing at St. Paul's Cathedral on Friday.
Such grit is good news for a country that attracts around 30 million visitors a year and has a tourism industry that directly contributes 4 percent to Britain's total gross domestic product of $2.1 trillion.
