London’s transport network has ground to a halt after the terrorist attacks earlier today.
People have been told not to travel into London, as the city's transport network has been effectively paralysed by the series of explosions on the underground and buses.
Metropolitan Police Commissioner Sir Ian Blair has told Londoners to "stay where you are", the entire Tube network has been shut, many mainline services into London have been stopped and no buses are running in Zone One.
Airports are as yet, still operating, although security has been increased and delays are expected. Eurostar's London to Paris service is still running, but the Heathrow Express has been suspended and the Stansted Express is not running as far as Liverpool Street.
Police say public transport will be affected for the next few days.
Sir Ian said: "All of London's transport is currently disabled, whether that's buses or trains. The safest thing anyone can do is stay where they are."
Home Secretary Charles Clarke said: "I would advise people not to make unnecessary journeys at this stage in order to help the police and emergency services deal with the situation."
Mainline London to Scotland train company GNER said it did not expect its East Coast Main Line services to run as far as London at any time on Thursday.
Other mainline services affected include those into Liverpool Street, Kings Cross, Euston and St Pancras.
