London Bridge is internationally known, worldwide exposure would be very high and terrorists would want to effect every part of our lives, not just rush hour travellers.

Seems a strange place to do it on a Saturday night. During rush hour yes, but surprised on a Saturday night - would have thought the west end would have been more of a target

Very busy per the BBC as London Bridge Station is a major gateway on a Saturday evening to London's attractions.

Nowt to do with its weekday commuter traffic role.

BBC reporter Holly Jones, who was on the bridge at the time of the incident, said the van was driven by a male driver and was "probably travelling at about 50 miles an hour".

About five people were being treated for injuries after the vehicle mounted the pavement and hit them, she said.

The van, which was travelling from the direction of central London, headed towards the south side of the river.

Plus several bodies in the Thames. Hopefully alive.

Someone has been arrested apparently. (According to Holly Jones, BBC reporter)

With his shirt off so I imagine the armed officers were concerned about a suicide bomb and made him remove his shirt.

I hope nobody has been killed. If this is what we all fear I really fear for our society.

Other reports of gunshots and stabbings. Reported on the Mail website so hopefully inaccurate.
