Hi

its pretty mad, I work on that road in Kings Cross, we have been told to stay in the ofice until further notice.

There is no transport at the moment - takes me 2 hours to get to work when its working, its going to be a long walk...

Just had the american embassy on my phone trying to track down students on course at Oxford.

Looks like the bus was suicide bomber.

Initial reports were of power surges on the Underground system causing explosions, but that's been discredited now that at least one, possibly three double-decker buses have been blown up.

My office is right in the middle of the affected area - staying put for now as the streets are a bit scary with buses going off, but will head home when it's been quiet a couple of hours. Local time 10.53am now, first blast was reported 8.59am

"terrible injuries".

"A police spokesman said there were "quite a large number of casualties"

BBC

Politicians had warned it was inevitable that terrorists would hit the UK, I was trying not to believe them until now.
