POLICE have confirmed at least three explosions on buses in central London, and several blasts have also rocked the London Underground during morning peak-hour.
Scotland Yard today said it had reports of blasts at six central London locations on buses and underground trains, bringing chaos to the city.
There are reports of explosions in Edgware Road, King's Cross, Liverpool Street, Russell Square, Aldgate East and Moorgate, Scotland Yard said.
London's entire underground railway network was shut down and dozens of people were reported injured amid reports of derailments and tunnels filled with choking smoke.
The chaos came a day after the British capital was chosen to host the 2012 Olympics.
Police evacuated several mainline railway and underground stations after a blast near Liverpool Street Station, which serves London's financial district, and a separate incident in the west of the capital.
"We believe there was some sort of explosion. There are some walking wounded at Aldgate," a police spokesman said, referring to an underground station near Liverpool Street.
A spokesman for London underground said a second 'incident' had taken place at Edgware Road station in west London.

Emergency vehicles rushed to the scene to deal with the confusion.
British Transport Police said the first incident was reported at 8.49am on the Metropolitan Line between Liverpool Street and Aldgate, and was thought to have been caused by a collision between two trains, a power cut or a power cable exploding.
But the national grid has told Sky News they could find no incident which would have lead to the blasts and witnesses said there may have been an explosive device.
Australian traveller "Steve", who was on the Aldgate tube, told Sky News there was a big hole in the carriage where the explosion occurred.
"There was so much stuff, people were choking," he said.
"We couldn't get out so we had to walk through the carriages.
"On the tracks you could see bodies and just the train hanging everywhere," he said.
Another witness on a bus said she was thrown to the ground by a blast.
"I saw the bus and it's ripped out its back, and I can't think it was anything (other than an explosion)", she told Sky News. More follows

Sure terrorists plan bombing runs like this in 24Hrs over a few pints at the local pub.
Ever consider it was the start of the G8 conference?
Post 18
hey, we've plotted far worse over a late night quarter pounder & cheese ;)
Post 19
I didnt know about that conference, but with the olympic thing happening, they new who was running for it, so someone could have already set it up for if they won. Its a possibility.
Post 20
So it would follow that there are also bombs planted in Paris and New York, as they were also contenders.
Especially seeing as the announcement was only made yesterday....
Of course it's the G8 conference that the timing is for....sheesh.

Yes, becuase Paris was the favourite and London according to the international community wasn't even a contender. OMFG!!!1111
Someone call MI5, terrorists have infiltrated the Olympic commitee!

How the f**k should I know, I'm basing it on what I heard... i dont give a f**k about the olympics or who gets it, I didnt even know they were holding the nominations for who gets toi run it until I was told London had won...so absed on that I figured london would have been the favourite.
All I did was post what I thought based on what I knew, no need to be a dick about pointing out I was wrong.
