Borough Market traders return to work one week on from terror attack that shocked London
Shops and restaurants reopened one week on from the terror attack that left eight dead in the heart of the capital
TRADERS bravely returned to work in London’s Borough Market today.
Shops and restaurants reopened one week on from the terror attack that left eight dead in the heart of the capital.
Market workers recalled the horror moment three ISIS fanatics armed with knives attacked victims enjoying their Saturday night out.
Matt Jones, owner of Bread Ahead bakery, pointed out where the attacks took place within the market.
He told Sky News: “The first attack was on a restaurant just over the other side of Fish!
“Then they came to us and started stabbing people on the street directly outside on the pavement here.”
Matt said two of his employees bravely ran out to try and defend girls being stabbed outside.
He said: “The attackers ran off down the street and on to Stoney Street, where they just continued to wreak havoc.”
Some cordons remain in place in the market – but most have now been lifted as it begins to return to normal.
Southwark Cathedral, where Australian nurse Kirsty Boden was killed, today reopened for the first time in a week.
Dean Andrew Nunn said he rushed from his nearby home after hearing something had happened at London Bridge to open the Cathedral as “a place of refuge” last Saturday.
He said: “I got as far as I could but was turned back by very heavily armed police who shoved me back and told me to run, run.
“I have to say I was scared, terrified really, I had never experienced anything like that and never thought I would.
“You always think it’s going to happen somewhere else and then all of a sudden it happens where you are.”
