Just spotted this on the BBC: BBC NEWS | Magazine | London's drowning. It maybe worth a watch, something in the past I'd think was far fetched, but with the recent floods...
If you have a "perfect storm" then the current flood defences for london would not be effective...and many parts of it would be flooded.
Please explain.Although its unlikely to happen, it really does show the danger of having a lot of the big companies head offices and government so densely populated in one city.
Please explain.
What I mean is that a lot major companies (Banks, Media, Insurance, Commerce etc) have their head offices or main offices in "The City" as it as affectionately known. Parliament is also there. So if there was a major disaster in the Centre of London then what effect would it have on the running and infrastructure of the company. Like putting all your eggs in one basket but what if the basket breaks.
More should be done to encourage business and government to look at city's as there respective bases.
