Seems to be massively conflicting reports at the minute. The numbers are all over the place in desperation of 'News' companies to get something out. Media embarrasses me sometimes.

Getting everything from 5 to 25 people at the minute with stabbings and shootings.

Thanks to the various conflicting sources don't know what's actually true and what's not.

Sky is reporting gunfire.

I guess the armed response unit is on scene

I'm really hoping this is just a drunk driver and that anyone hit by this is ok.

It seems the van mounting the pavement and hitting several people is verified.

Southwark Bridge also been shut.

It isn't just a drunk driver looking like another terrorist attack i hope fatalities are low and the injured a speedy recovery.

Reports are all over the place, some quite horrific. Stabbings/gunfire etc.

A BBC reporter saw the van hit people, miss her, then hit more people. She later saw a man being arrested.

They've been reporting that since the start. Based on a witness report to Reuters. That's what I mean. Everyone is reporting bits and pieces of it unverified over several sources. Be a while before this unravels and we get the events.

Event at Borough Market confirmed. Damien can verify that spelling.

Something else has happened or is happening in Borough Market (it's just next to London Bridge and would also explain why Southwark Bridge is closed). Seems more than one person.

Re: Incident on London Bridge
 
It would then seem the arrest was one and that would explains gunshots for a separate suspect. - Not verified. Just a thought.

Two of the people who the BBC put on air work for the BBC, one was on London Bridge, another was in a Basement of a restaurant, that was evacuated.
