London near-bombing: for facts, analysis, links, and the text of the message posted on a jihadi website the night before, go here.

According to Fox's account, one of the suspect cars "was ticketed and then towed an hour later to the impound lot on Park Lane on Hyde Park's eastern edge" -- right underneath Speakers Corner during an Islamist rally, if there's any justice.
