Much appreciated!

Well first of all I really hope the authorities have done enough preparation to start seriously cracking down, so my expectation is that the worst is over.
But if it lingers, they should be fine in the central areas. It's more along the periphery where you have low cost housing estates (although there are estates in all parts of London--even Belgravia and a huge one in Chelsea) that you see most of the mayhem.
It's all unpredictable but I'm pretty sure they'll be fine and might not even notice anything.
Unless they're staying near the Harrow campus of the University of Westminster...
