I'm at work in sunny Shoreditch at the moment, it's bloody chaos, army wagons, police, ambulance. fire brigade, bombs, fires, dead people someone here said it's as high as 30 now many many innocents seriously injured.

really the whole area is in a state of total confusion, all you can hear are sirens, and more sirens

Don't sound too good, the army have been mobilised in certain areas, main line stations shut no electricity, no buses no tubes

[VanDaMauler]

Latest count is 7 bombs gone off...

road networks are fines, East Croydon station is definately shut ...

the mobile network shutdown was worrying-trying to trace friends and family at a time like this...finally got a message from my wife that she left for work later and took the scooter to find roads blocked and a policeman telling her worse news than currently on the TV...keep safe.

Mobile network probably shut down to prevent further detonations.
Need to be aware of all packages .
Stay safe.

Not enjoying life in the city today. Hear sirens every 5 minutes. I dont know if i can get 60 staff home either. If I get home i need to come back tomorrow.

Unfortuantely the joys of my first track day on Monday seems a bit far away!

Strange eerie atmosphere.
