Commuters in London on Monday walked along newly fortified bridges and saw additional police officers posted at tube stations as part of the city’s increased security measures after Saturday night’s attacks at London Bridge. The Met police erected barriers on some bridges to better protect pedestrians from rogue drivers, while British Prime Minister Theresa May praised London mayor Sadiq Khan after a series of critical tweets from President Donald Trump.
