Picture

Is this picture appropriate to represent the ring of steel at night?

 

No, since this depicts all of London, not merely the very small City of London. - 132.216.227.226 18:11, 4 February 2007 (UTC)Reply

Labelling certain groups as terrorist is against WP:NPOV and should be discussed before use.--Vintagekits 13:27, 24 January 2007 (UTC)Reply

City of London is not Greater London!!

edit

It is clear that some people contributing do not really know the difference between the City of London and Greater London, which is a much larger area.

The Ring of Steel surrounds the City, which is about a square mile in size, not the much larger area of Greater London. It is also manned by City of London Police, the specific Police force of the City, and not Metropolitan Police. You can tell this by the red and white dicing on the sentry boxes, if it were metropolitan police it would be blue and white dicing.

Therefore, saying that the IRA infiltrated the ring of steel to bomb the docklands in 1996 is factually wrong, as 'the docklands', specifically Canary Wharf, is wholly outside the City and thus the ring of steel, it is infact over a mile away. — Preceding unsigned comment added by God Save Queen Elizabeth (talkcontribs) 20:04, 2 January 2012 (UTC)Reply

Median?

edit

Minor point, but "These roads typically have a concrete median..." looks a bit odd. "Median" strikes me as a US-English word. Obviously, if it's used officially, then that's different, but I just thought I'd mention it. 86.129.214.85 (talk) 17:35, 18 May 2012 (UTC)Reply
