One of the reasons why they keep looking at pedestrianising Parliament
Sq is that it'll protect the HOP better from car bombs.

But then, one of the reasons why they say they can't pedestrianise the
Square is because they say too many people will be able to loiter in the
area and that's also a security risk...

One of the other problems is that it's a rather vital link in the road
network. Because that bloody great palace thing stops there being an
embankment in that area.
