London Bridge is eerily quiet with train stations and roads evacuated, and a huge cordon in place.

Two members of the public were killed by a rampaging knifeman who was then shot dead by police shortly before 2pm today.

At present, the scene is packed with commuters, tourists and those wanting to know what happened.

Borough High Street is currently blocked from John Harvard House to Monument as police deal with the incident.

One person who was a short walk away said: "I was visiting my Nan in hospital, we weren’t allowed to leave. The whole hospital was put on lockdown.
