Explosions in London

S'mon

I've just heard all bridges over the river are apparently closed so Ingrid may not be able to get out to you that way! Might be worth getting in touch with her on that.

Just looked out of the window - Blackfriars bridge is definitely still open (vehicles and pedestrians), and I doubt they'd close any to pedestrians. Don't fancy having to swim the Thames as the start of my journey home

Thanks to everyone for their concern and well-wishes.

Cheers for the clarification - figured it was extreme but thought I'd pass on what I'd been told.

They were probably just messing with us South Londoners.

Yes, true, but I'm hopefull. But you are right, they aren't always spot on on those reports, so any numbers should be taken with a grain of salt.

Sadly, your hopes are most likely misplaced. http://www.cnn.com/2005/WORLD/europe/07/07/london.tube/index.html

Dozens of so far officially untallied dead according to that article.

Thoughts and my concerns four our Brit friends. I have a close friend who lives near London, and was quite concerned until I found she was okay. I sincerely hope the casualty and fatality numbers do not rise again, though I fear they will. It is good to hear that so many of you who live about London are okay.

Sky is reporting 45 fatalities.

Anyone able to use the river to get home (or closer to it) should have a look.

Just been told that my train station (euston) has reopened - as have Victoria and London Bridge. My company has told me to leave now to try and get home so I'm out of here

Thanks to everyone for your kind words.

And to the rest of you Londoners I hope you make it home alright.

I don't know what to say except that you have my sympathy and that I hope nobody here has lost anyone.
