Terrible, terrible day for London. Explosions were spreading across the centre as I approached UCL. Most of the chaos had already hit before I cycled through the centre so there was an unusual number of dazed commuters trying to navigate the streets. I’m glad, given the circumstances that I didn’t curse the folk wandering into the cycle lanes.

10 mins after I arrived, the bus on Tavistock Square exploded – just around the corner but strangely I didn’t hear anything. I’m sure you’ve seen the pictures – just horrendous!

Fortunately all the group arrived safely and despite all the networks being down we managed to contact loved ones and confirm safety.
It won’t be the same for everyone today, I am so sorry to say.

Some people must have suffered terribly on the affected tubes and bus, it really has been very frightening just to be a distant witness. I wish strength to all those shaken by the events.
