At least 20 people have been taken to 6 different hospitals. Sky sources say that there are fatalities but these have not yet been confirmed by the police. Lots of people are currently trapped in bars and pubs.

CNN are reporting that there is at least one dead. Scotland Yard will be giving a live update within the next half an hour.
Eye witnesses have reported several men savagely attacking people with huge knifes and a machette. Apparently there is one terrorist still at large.
Despite the level threat of an attack being at it's highest level, it just once again proves that there is nothing that can be done against these evil barbarians.

Jesus Christ! I just woke up and heard about it on tv. My mom said: "Exactly like beasties", meaning the terrorists...

Same here. We need to eliminate these monsters from the planet.
I also heard on Sky that there were 2 French citizens injured. One of them is in a critical condition. This information has also been confirmed by the French press.

I heard on the news that 5 people have been arrested in my local area of east London.

12 people have been arrested in Barking, east London, I think they just said that 4 of them were women. It feels weird seeing those flats on the news and thinking that I could have walked past these people or have been standing on the train next to them. ETA - Assuming that the police have captured the right people.

This is exactly what I was saying to someone earlier on. As soon as there is a terrorist attack the police immediately go and arrest a whole gang of them. They always know who they are but can't seem to do much about their activities.
I think that we have to change legislation and very quickly.
Something definitely needs to be done about this. I can't really see what an easy solution even is, the experts seem to think that it could get worse before anything improves.
I actually thought last night was going to be even worse when I saw the breaking news, I thought it was going to be coordinated attacks like the Paris attacks.
It seems it was two attacks by one group of 3 attackers, first they hit pedestrians on London bridge with their van, then they attacked with knives in a different location.

I've been watching all the various comments made by experts including a former SAS agent since 6 am. Everyone agrees that 'enough is enough' and that we need to step up mesures.
I'm eagerly awaiting to see what the government is planning to do about these attacks. I wonder what the families who have lost their loved ones are thinking ? Why have we allowed these terrorist groups to thrive in our country ? Questions and no answers.

All I have heard this morning is police sirens and helicopters.

Yikes, I can't imagine that. I don't see how anyone could get up and go on with "life as usual" when something like this is going on.

These words are meaningless. It's who's next and where ?
I was talking to a pre-school teacher yesterday and she is worried that pupils will be the next target. She had actually declined a position in a Jewish school in Marseilles because she was so worried about terrorist attacks. So 'life as usual' belongs to the past.
Londoners continue to show their defiance by being unfriendly and quite impatient
Haha, it's satirical, made me laugh, Londoners remain grumpy, unfriendly, and impatient, but neither cowed nor terrorised.
I was a bit worried about going out today to the shops, but I thought I have to just carry on with my normal life. I then realised I had stupidly left my phone at home.
