Because I wouldn't describe London Bridge as "internationally known" whereas the iconic Tower Bridge would be.

I agree that Tower Bridge is more iconic, except that the name 'London Bridge' is a famous name and of course immortalised in the nursery rhyme. I should have quoted [MENTION=159]Stumpy Tim[/MENTION] who was wondering about the location and timing.

Sky reporting above :(

Well. Some old boy on Sky is suggesting he heard it.


Edit: OK, another chap now saying- by means of hearsay- that he's heard there was gunfire too.

How awful. I hope that the reports of three men with knives attacking those knocked down are inaccurate. Absolutely heartbreaking.

Not just the Mail. Lots of separate reports on social media saying the same thing

But almost certainly most on a hearsay basis. Social media is fantastic for Chinese whispers.

Not saying it's not happened, but personally, I'm loathe to take everything as gospel at these early stages.

Witness on BBC News talked about a stabbing in Borough Market pub, followed by shooting. May not be terrorist related?

I can't ever imagine finding myself at the heart of something like this, and my first instinct being to ring Sky News.

Indeed. I'm watching sky news and they've spoken to several witnesses and only one of them claims to have heard gunfire. Which he said went on for "quite a few minutes", and "other people would mistake it for fireworks". They've asked all their witnesses and none of the others heard anything. No one else has heard it (despite it going on for quite a few minutes). None of them have heard fireworks.
