• "regular" terrorists: You know, Al Qaida, Hamas, IRA... and people alike.
• Anti-olympia people: Now, I know this is very unlikely, but think about it. The day before, one learnt that the olympic games are held in London. And for olympic games, people tend to renovate and build new stuff. People who might be against that (I'm pretty sure that they are going to tear down old houses and replace them with new , expensive ones), might also want to get people away from London.
