This is worrying news.

There are reports that a van has hit pedestrians on London Bridge in central London, with armed police understood to be at scene. There's a lot of speculation about the exact details and we don't want to provide any inaccurate information at this stage, but the initial reports are concerning. Both and London Transport have reported a 'serious incident' that is being looked into. All routes are being diverted. https://twitter.com/metpoliceuk/status/871116503327920129?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw&ref_url=about%3Asrcdoc https://twitter.com/TfLBusAlerts/status/871112689069772801 Spectator reporter Will Heaven is on the scene and has more detailed updates.
