Just a note of caution: Like the last time expect no buses going into town. 
Tubes should, again going by the last time, be okay.

They'll have to give the inspectors time to get out first.

The day that war breaks out, the Stop the War Coalition "calls on everyone 
to STOP EVERYTHING. Where possible walk out of your work place, college or 
school and then converge in your city centre. This will culminate in a mass 
protest at 6pm.
In London please go straight to Parliament Square in the afternoon for a 
massive protest."
