Most londoners aren't english.
I worked in north west london (about 7 miles from the centre) and most of my
colleagues were from the southern hemisphere.

Yes, I saw the clip on CNN. The host introduced the clip saying they
were
about to interview a woman who had been "about 50 feet away" from the bus
bombing. She then came on and, as you report, said she had been 15 to 20
meters away. Later she said she had family in South Africa and I don't know
if she is British or South African, though she had a credible British
accent
--- not quite public school, though.
