Guardian says current (as we post) report of explosion at Leicester Sq. - but no word on whether it is a 'controlled' explosion (i.e. police detonating).
 
not reiterated - channel 5 news - emergency services gathering in liecestersquare - possibly part of an emergency plane - hopefully
 
The BBC News ticker has just flashed up that an Islamic extremist website has claimed responsibility.

what in leicester sq?

The ambulance guys said they'd been called to Leicester Square - didn't say anything more.

Parliament's plodding on as usual - there will be a statement by the government soon but they're doing a stiff upper lip thing of ignoring it all for the time being (talking about regionalisation of fire brigades as I write) - but it's absolutely packed with MPs. The main road by Parliament is still open and we're all being advised to stay inside....
