True. When I was at school (mid 80s), my mum and dad had a newsagents in the New Covent Garden market. Even then, the whole area was incredibly busy (especially during the rush hour) and had loads of flats. It's worse now.
There are also a few things I could imagine would be potential targets for terrorism. Nearly all (if not all) of the train lines to Victoria go through Vauxhall. There is also the aforementioned MI5 building, and Vauxhall bridge.
Of those, I'd say the train lines would be most likely to be hit. Think of the problems a terrorist could cause by damaging those lines. A major transport hub would be disabled. The MI5 building is also a potential target but is likely to be heavily fortified.
