'Brexit' upsets Londoners who find harmony in a cultural cacophony

It was a few days after Britain had startled itself and much of the world by electing to leave the European Union in the "Brexit" referendum, and Narrinder Bahia and Arvin Singh were sitting on the grass in Hyde Park, trying to take in what had happened.Both had voted to stay in the union, sharing the opinion of 60 per cent of Londoners but not Britain as a whole, as the Leave campaign beat Remain, 52 per cent to 48 per cent. Brexit is a bracing reminder, the two said, of how different London is from the rest of the country - how it can feel like a world apart, a place unto itself."Being here shows that you're no different to each other," said Bahia, 31, an accountant whose parents are Indian, by way of Malaysia. "But when you come from the regions, sometimes you haven't been exposed to what it's like to work with and have friends from different cultures."Around them, the park was almost a caricature of multicultural London in the summer: a cacophony of people, a riot of accents, all e

Shareholders to vote on London exchange under Brexit

Shareholders of the London Stock Exchange will vote on Monday on whether to back a $27 billion merger with Deutsche Boerse, even though the deal may have to be tweaked following Britain's decision to leave the European Union.The two exchanges have insisted that their all-share merger to create the world's biggest bourse by revenue was essentially "Brexit proof", but the result of Britain's June 23 referendum has cast a shadow over the deal.Germany's markets watchdog BaFin said last week that London could not host the headquarters of the planned European stock exchange giant if London is outside the bloc, saying it would be hard to imagine that the most important exchange in the euro zone would be steered from a headquarters outside the EU.Shareholders of the 318-year old London exchange will vote at 0915 GMT on Monday on what is London's third attempt to merge with Deutsche Boerse in 16 years, the previous plans scuppered by a band of British stockbrokers, and a failed counterbid from
