Explosions tear through London
There are reports of multiple deaths and walking wounded after explosions at Tube stations and on buses across north London this morning, including Kings Cross and Russell Square.
The explosions have forced the closure of the entire Underground network.
An explosion also tore through a bus in Tavistock Place, a Scotland Yard spokesman confirmed. There are unconfirmed reports of explosions on other buses.
Blasts have been reported at several major London stations, including Liverpool Street, Aldgate East, Moorgate and Edgware Road.
Scotland Yard said in a statement: "At approx 08:50 we were called to Aldgate station to assist the City of London police and British Transport Police regarding an incident on the underground system.
"All of the emergency services are on scene. This has been declared as a major incident. Too early to state what has happened at this stage.
"There have been further reports from multiple locations in London of explosions. It is too early to say what has caused these explosions.
