Totenham Court Road has just been evacuated. I know there are going to be lots of scares following the London bombings but DH has asked me to check if anything has happened. He seems to think something has.

My SIL is stuck at UNI now, it will be a pain getting home. I hope she calms down enough to get home. The depot the 26 comes to and from is in the next road to MIL's house.

spacedonkey · 21/07/2005 15:23

If you're in central london, police say to stay where you are for now PC

PiccadillyCircus · 21/07/2005 15:24

Yes, that's what I thought really. Will get myself organised so I can leave when it is sensible.

Did I say I was glad to be stopping work today....

mummy23 · 21/07/2005 15:24

CountessDracula · 21/07/2005 15:24

They are real not hoax!

Easy · 21/07/2005 15:25

Picadilly Circus,

I'm not in London myself, but in your position I think I would get a taxi if possible, and set off home.

If everyone is being told to stay put, it should be relatively quiet now, but utter bedlam when all clear iss announced.

ScummyMummy · 21/07/2005 15:25

Police have got someone at Whitehall...

RTKangaMummy · 21/07/2005 15:25

OUTSIDE MOD

HappyDaddy · 21/07/2005 15:26

I apologise, I'm rather shaky thinking how close to the bus bomb my SIL was. I'm going now.

RTKangaMummy · 21/07/2005 15:26

LIVE HAPPENING NOW

PiccadillyCircus · 21/07/2005 15:26

Easy, that's what I'm thinking as well. Hmmm.

spacedonkey · 21/07/2005 15:26

The Downing St bloke probably nothing to do with it. His shirt was undone and clearly he didn't have any explosives strapped to himself!

RTKangaMummy · 21/07/2005 15:27
