I prayed for all of you as soon as I opened this thread. I'm watching ABC News now and they said that 3 underground stations are evacuated on Warren Street, Shepards Bush and Oval. They don't seem to know a lot yet. May God be with you all.

I shall post the map again... I work in Whitfield Street - Warren Street tube is at one end, Tottenham Court Rd the other. Goodge Street (where the office is in the middle).

The bus and tube bombs two weeks ago were so near.... but this is even nearer.

Just heard a report (ABC News again) that there were a series of "incidents" including windows blown out on a double decker bus.

London police are saying these are not major incidents.

Now they are saying there's a 4th "incident" on a bus. They are being so vague.

The amount of police cars, fire engines copters etc... well it must be something major because there are so many vehicles in the vicinity. I must have seen at least 15 police cars when I went out for 10 mins at lunch and that's just near the Warren Street site. I can see out of the window 3 copters too....
