Financial markets have been affected, the FTSE is down by almost 160.... the pound is down against the dollar by almost a cent.
Emergency services are walking at their max capacity...but remain cool and professional.

Olaafol calling in. Thank you OlaM for remembering us; God bless you.I was atually turned back by the police at Shoreditch and to think I was scolding my daughter this morning that she would be late for work placement. My daughter has to go through Kingscoss to get to Swiss Cottage for her work placement.

Tony Blair says it's "reasonably clear" that London was hit by a wave of terrorist attacks. He reckons they will not succeed.
He is on his way back from the G8 summit.

God save me I should have being in Kingscross area by then but I am saved by Flu. Called work that I can not come and Have being sleeping throughout . I only switched on My TV when I woke up 10 mins ago and behold I thought I was in another planent.
I am yet to contact my brother because he is at work but since movement is restricted in that area but I believe all is well.
This is too bad I believe it is a terrorist attack but this is too bad because the casualities is too much.

My daughter is right here with me. I had to go and pick her from Highbury and Islington.
Have you tried calling Tammy as I don't think I have a current number for her.

According to the news, there are still people trapped underground at edgeware road station. Casualty records are still increasing.
I pray that as many people that can be saved will be o. This is really disheartening.
