Van hitting people, unsure if it is an accident reports of a knife.

Praying it's a hoax

I absolutely despair. As the wife of an emergency service worker who has to deal with incidents like this is makes my blood boil.

Fortunately he's not there tonight but those people responding are someone else's husbands/wives etc too Sad

helenaDove exactly.

Domino20 · 04/06/2017 00:12

I'd like some more info about suspects on the loose so I can stop checking my courtyard!

KeepCalm · 04/06/2017 00:14

domino20 met police are on Twitter. Can you follow that? Likely to be the most accurate updates at this time.

Their main priority will be getting civilians out of the area as quickly & safely as possible.

France last year back to back terror attacks ...it seems theyve turned their attention to us, Sad my friend is there today ...just messaged her now response yet ..

Badweekjustgotworse · 04/06/2017 00:15

That met advice isn't sent chills down my spine.

BeeThirtythree · 04/06/2017 00:17

CNN reporting 3 separate attacks? London Bridge/Vauxhall

Scary and sickening! Praying for. All those affected and those who have to deal with the aftermath of senseless destruction like this!

Just devastated!

Sounds really big. A friend of mine was looking clef in a bar by the police but they evacuated and she's on the way home now. Incident in Vauxhall also reported too so 3 with Borough Market.

HooplaLoopla1 · 04/06/2017 00:20

Bee yes there are 3 incidents - London Bridge, Borough Market and Vauxhall

lalalalyra · 04/06/2017 00:21

Sky News should get hauled over the coals next week.

Yes, we want news, and, yes, we want information, but for fuck's sake get out of the police's way when they ask you.

laylabelle · 04/06/2017 00:22

Vauxhall station has been reopened

lalalalyra · 04/06/2017 00:22

Vauxhall Station has re-opened.

HooplaLoopla1 · 04/06/2017 00:22

Sad MI6 HQ is in Vauxhall as well.

KeepCalm · 04/06/2017 00:26

halfshelf my friend down there too this weekend. She was nearby & got evacuated. She is a lady of a certain age and totally shaken up. All I could do was be grateful she's safe & tell her to go to the hotel bar for a brandy.

I hope your friend is safe too Flowers

HooplaLoopla1 · 04/06/2017 00:29

Hoping if you're near or have someone who is, that they're safe and stay safe Flowers

Londoncity09 · 04/06/2017 00:31

Thank god we have moved to Essex. It's just too scary now living in major cities,but I can't see this getting any better it's going to get worse

BillSykesDog · 04/06/2017 00:33

Monument too now

BeeThirtythree · 04/06/2017 00:36

BillSykes Is that confirmed too? Absolute idiots, so many people out on a Saturday night!! Just disgusting!!!

HooplaLoopla1 · 04/06/2017 00:36

Incident or shut down Bill?

TurquoiseDress · 04/06/2017 00:37

I know the London Bridge & Borough market area very well...hope they quickly catch the bastards who did this.

Poor people, just out on a Saturday night...things are just getting beyond comprehension, I feel like London/UK is experiencing what France had last year/for the previous 18 months

KeepCalm · 04/06/2017 00:40

Fucking teresa may and her statement expressing huge gratitudes towards the police.

I'll refrain from ranting regards her treatment of emergency service workers/NHS staff for now in hope that maybe one day she'll start appreciating all they do.......

metspengler · 04/06/2017 00:49

What is wrong with you electioneering about Theresa May and the NHS off the back of such events. Seriously actually stfu.

HooplaLoopla1 · 04/06/2017 00:50

Theresa May is a grade A twat. Cutting every service that we all need at anytime but even more so when this shit is going off. She's not got a fucking clue while she's safe and protected and everyone else is at risk.

HooplaLoopla1 · 04/06/2017 00:52

Metspengler not exactly electioneering is it? People will vote for who they want come the day but SHE is in power now and SHE is the one who spews that bollocks all the while knowing the risks.

lalalalyra · 04/06/2017 00:54

BBC reporting the police as tweeting that the Vauxhall incident was an unrelated stabbing.

Also saying that at 0025 incidents at London Bridge and Borough Market were declared terrorist incidents.
