Several people have been injured after explosions on the Underground network and a double-decker bus in London.
A police spokesman said there were "quite a large number of casualties" at Aldgate Tube Station.
And Scotland Yard confirmed one of several reports of explosions on buses in the city - in Tavistock Place - but said the cause was not yet known.
One caller to BBC Five said his friend had seen "the bus ripped open like a can of sardines and bodies everywhere."
PA also quoted union officials as saying sources had told them there had been at least one explosive device on the Underground.

Casualties on London's underground after incident
LONDON (Reuters) - An explosion blew up a bus in central London on Thursday, police told Reuters after witnesses said they had heard a big boom.
Police closed off the area around Tavistock Square. A policeman, who declined to be identified, said there had been an explosion on a bus.
"We heard a big boom and we were all told to evacuate the building," an officer worker said. There was no word on casualties.
People were also seen streaming out of a London underground station covered with blood following what police described as a "major incident".
Similar scenes were reported by witnesses outside other stations in the capital. The whole of the system was shut down and major thoroughfares were closed.
The cause of the incident, which occurred at rush-hour on the underground network, was as yet unknown.
"There have been some casualties and this has been declared as a major incident," said a spokeswoman for London's Metropolitan Police.
Emergency services rushed to the Aldgate East underground station where police reported one incident at 8:59 a.m. local time (0759 GMT).
Witnesses said passengers were seen emerging from the station at Aldgate East with blood on their faces and their clothes ripped.
"There were people streaming out of Aldgate station covered in blood," said Kate Heywood, 27, on her way to work.
A Reuters correspondent at Oxford Circus station, at the heart of the underground system, heard an announcement over the public-address system saying: "A power outage has occurred London-wide. All train services are suspended."
A station official said: "All the power has gone down. I don't know when it'll come back."
