If they came to take humans and water why place a ship over London? I think they had about 20-30 ships in total so surely there were more practical places to base a ship.
Unless they did it simply for political reasons.
What kind of a question is this ? Maybe it was because London is one of the major cities in the world.......
Victims...........arent we all.
Yes it is.
But if you happen to be comming to the planet to take the humans away and take the water London or even anywhere in the UK is not a prime location.
Well if you remember in the original "V" series they were also storing food aswell. So, maybe they were hoping to harvest the entire human race aswell as the water therefore starting with every major city on the planet ......
And i think you will find that London is or would be a prime location...Why would you think London wouldn't be a prime location ?
Victims...........arent we all.
And psychological.
Population numbers aside, people know the name "London". Seeing a big alien ship there, along with other major cities, only adds to the feeling of claustrophobia.
Prime or not, these ships were designed to be mobile and to store great quantities of food. Compared to outer space, a ship over London that would be redirected to, say, Hong Kong, would be a walk from the fridge to the stove to them.
A missed opportunity might have been an episode of another ship still in transit from the home planet and discussing the wait time involved to get to Earth, then finding means to get the audience to hate the aggressors even more...

During the visitor's arrival Daniel Berstein turns to the tv and says, 'look, t's London'. It was also stated clearly on more than one occasion that 50 ships arrived... FYI
shareLondon is a Capital City and one of the bigger cities on the planet. It would fit their world wide lie of for them to park a Mother Ship there. That lie being establishing relationships with world leaders to get their support/permission to manufacture a (fake) chemical in order to save their home planet.
I HATE the phrase "torture porn". What happened to good old fashion "SNUFF FILM"?
Why would they go to London!?
Phftt... to see the bridge. (duh)
Why not? What do you have against London? Don't like Big Ben?

There are 9 million humans there and a very big river. Everything they wanted.
shareWhat a pity the Doctor didn't turn up to save the UK haha?
Actually I wonder how he would deal with the visitors?
Speaking of Dr. Who, wonder how the Daleks would get along their competitors? ;)
I imagine the mother ship went to London for the same reason most of us tourists like to go....friendly people, great sites, and a chance to perhaps see the Royal family :)
Which leads me to a funny thought.
What if the royals were actually shape changing lizards.....It'd be like visiting the rellatives?
There were 50 of these ships and well it wasnt just fresh water they were after, and an Island nation is surrounded by water :P
They were here for all of us, every living thing and all of the planet's water. London is as good as any place if you ask me.
This film does have similarities with 'The Dalek Invasion Of Earth',and there must of been resistance groups in London or the UK,not just Los Angeles!
shareSightseeing ?
That which does not Kill me makes me Stranger
