well BBC have just said they have no confirmations of any deaths as of yet which is positive
Wishful thinking, they showed a shot of the bomb site from the sky news helicopter and the road was covered in blood. There are certain to be fatalities.

aldgate tube seems the worst 90+ casualties so far.
the army are now on the streets in and around covent garden.
up to 6 blasts so far...

Can someone with a TV please just confirm what tube stations the explosions were at and where the buses went off? No TV, just internet, which is frustratingly slow...

I work in Balham and I didn't think anything of it when they closed the tube station. There is something seriously wrong here at the moment. Police, Ambulance, Fire fighters with breathing units etc etc have been going up the high street since about ten past nine.
My mobile phone is down and I can't contact anyone.
I just pray that everything is alright.

Met Police Commissioner saying 6 explosions, one on a bus, 5 on tube.
Bus - Tavistock Sq
Tube - Edgware, Moorgate, Russell Sq, L'pool Street, Kings X, Aldgate East
But the Tube ones are still listed as "incidents" rather than confirmed explosions

It's been a long time coming but this is too much to take! I have a feeling that Clapham Junction will be the next to be shut down. This is horrific. I don't know what to say.

my best mate is in work, crapping her pants and all her other co-workers are carrying on talking insurance jargon crap not bothered by it all considering an explosion has gone off just roads away?!?!?

I agree jay, its never been a matter if but when. IRA have been ruled out, so I think it is Al Quieda way of telling us we aren't safe, expecially now we have got the Olympics.
Everyone in and around London today be safe and take care.

My mum's supposed to be at work up in Tavistock Place this morning, but she hasn't arrived yet and I can't get her on her mobile, which is a little worrying
Don't worry Mr Statto - I'm sure Mummy Statto is fine, please let me know once you've heard from her though! I do worry!
Thanks for your concern Saucy. I'm suspecting that she's just stuck somewhere, because she didn't leave Smitham until 9:25, so even if she'd changed onto a fast train she wouldn't have been to London until 10 - after everything happened.
 That's just the ramblings of a madman

We've been instructed to stay in the building u.f.n.
I would suggest that if you work in the City and you haven't been told to evacuate, you stay put.
