(about 1 hour later)
Police are responding to three "major incidents" across central London. At least one person has been killed and there are "multiple casualties" after a van drove into pedestrians and several men then started stabbing passersby in what police said was a terrorist attack.
There were reports a van had hit pedestrians in London Bridge and that people may have been hurt in Borough Market and Vauxhall. The first incident happened on London Bridge when a white transit-style van drove into a crowd "at about 50mph", according to witnesses.
At least one fatality had been confirmed in the incident at London Bridge. The attackers in the nearby Borough Market then started stabbing people, according to witnesses.
The area has been cordoned off after eye witnesses reported seeing a white van mowing down pedestrians.  Two suspects were later pictured lying prone on the ground after apparently being shot by police. One man had canisters strapped to his body.
