All I know is when I flew my Single-Engine Comanche to Europe in 2003, I
wasn't allowed to fly inside the London TMA 'cos I only had one engine.
Helo's fly over the river and have special clearances with their VFR
routes. It's the 'glide-clear' rule. Also had this :--

"You can fly over London in a Single providing you get clearance to
enter the TMA and are over 1500 feet above the tallest sructure within
1 Nm and you are high enough to land clear of any built-up area if your
engine quits."

Since 9/11, also doubtful but possible I suppose.

Not the Hudson VFR Corridor...

Still, it is quite ridicilous. I wonder how many people would be
suprised to know a fully-loaded Cessna 150 would bounce of the side of
the Washington Memorial...
Forget about the Statue of Liberty.
Anyhow, I think it'll be forgotten.
IMO.

I don't know if it is a new regulation, but about 10 years ago I
overflew the city at 2400 ft, twice in one weekend, as asked by ATC, and
met plenty of ULM on the way.
