Armed police are responding to security incidents in central London, at London Bridge and nearby Borough Market, after a van was driven at pedestrians as well as a number of stabbings.

Armed police and ambulances were called to reports of a white van hitting several people on London Bridge 22:08 BST on Saturday.
The area and nearby railway stations were closed. Witness reports said the van mounted the pavement of the bridge.

BBC reporter Holly Jones, who was on the bridge at the time, said: "A white van driver came speeding - probably about 50mph - veered off the road into the crowds of people who were walking along the pavement.

"He swerved right round me and then hit about five or six people."

Police have said there has been "more than one" person killed on London Bridge.

British Transport Police confirmed at 23:15 that there were "a number" of casualties and said there was an "incident that possibly involved a van and a knife".
London Ambulance Service said "multiple resources" were sent to the scene.

The Metropolitan Police confirmed a second armed response to nearby Borough Market where there were reports of stabbings. Police said shots have been fired.

Police subsequently confirmed they are treating these as "terrorist incidents".

A third police unit was sent to the Vauxhall area. Officers later said this was a stabbing and not connected to the operation at London Bridge and Borough Market.
