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.
UK Home Secretary Charles Clarke said several explosions in central London had caused "terrible injuries".
"The health services are in support to deal with the terrible injuries that there have been," Clarke told reporters outside Downing Street.
Number 10 said it was "still unsure" whether the explosions were a terrorist attack and although casualties were reported, no further details were yet available.
Ministers are meeting to clarify the situation and the government will make a statement later, Leader of the House Geoff Hoon told the Commons.
One caller to BBC Five said his friend had seen "the bus ripped open like a can of sardines and bodies everywhere".
And the Press Association quoted union officials as saying sources had told them there had been at least one explosive device on the Underground.
British Transport Police said incidents took place at Aldgate, Edgware Road, King's Cross, Old Street and Russell Square stations.
Scotland Yard confirmed they were assisting with a "major incident" and said there were casualties.
Hospitals have said they are no longer accepting non-emergency cases, BBC Five Live reported.
The National Grid, which supplies power to the Underground, said there had been no problems with its system which could have contributed to the incidents.
'Screaming and crying'
Jacqui Head, from BBC News, who had just left King's Cross station on a Piccadilly Line train as an explosion happened, said: "Everything was normal. Suddenly there was a massive bang, the train jolted.
"There was immediately smoke everywhere and it was hot and everybody panicked. People started screaming and crying."
The train was kept in the tunnel for 20 minutes and no announcement was made to explain the delay to passengers, she added.
Liberal Democrat MP Simon Hughes, near Kings Cross, told Five Live: "My only thought in the midst of all this confusion is that after the celebration of yesterday (for the Olympic 2012 London success) for people to be evil enough - if it is the intentional causing of death and injury - and think that they can justify this in any circumstances is completely unacceptable."
London Fire Brigade said four crews were at Liverpool Street and more were on their way.
Another passenger, who had left the Tube at Fenchurch Street Station, and walked to Aldgate East, told BBC Five Live that he saw injured people.
"As I walked through the bus station I could see people lying on the ground, black, as if they'd been covered in smoke. There were about three or four people on the floor being treated."
Eyewitness Paul Woloszyn from BBC News, who was at Blackhorse Road station on the Victoria Line, said: "We were told there was a bomb at Liverpool Street station.
"I was on the Tube, and they stopped the train and told everyone to get off and evacuate the station."
He said staff had said the entire Tube network had been affected, and leaflets had been handed out with details of alternative bus routes.
Another eyewitness, Dorothy Molloy, had been on a Tube train at King's Cross and said "staff just chucked everyone out of the station".
She said staff there had not given any details, but she said two passengers she had spoken to had said they had received messages saying there had been bombs.
"People didn't really know what was going on, they were just huffing and puffing and saying how annoying it was," she said.
"People don't seem to be panicked, but there's so many police and ambulances coming into the areas. People are just concerned, and some are just annoyed at the delay."
Ah yes...yet another example of Islam, the religion of peace and compassion.
Ivan,
This is one pissed off Texan that knows what can be done when Britania gets mad. Our prayers and sympathy go with you and the rest of the British people, keep your powder dry, we'll watch your six.
Those that stood by us; so shall we stand by them.
Our prayers and national support are with you Ivan.
Do you think this will sway the British populace to give more support on the War on Terror?
Years of IRA bombs meant that the average Londoner felt that we ought to "just kill the bastards". Al Qaeda bombs provoke the same reaction.
Regards, Ivan
I'm praying for their well being and resolution and I hope President Bush stands behind England 1000% and leaves the G8 summit to support Blair. While the French hide and appease their local terrorists, Blair and Bush show how real leaders operate! God bless the Queen!
Back in '41 when Harry Hopkins met with Churchill in London, he brought the following message from Roosevelt to Churchill:
"for whither thou goest, I will go; and where thou lodgest, I will lodge: thy people shall be my people, and thy God my God:
Where thou diest, will I die, and there will I be buried: the LORD do so to me, and more also, if ought but death part thee and me."
Book of Ruth, chapter 1, verses 16-17.
A lot of us here in the USA say those same words to you and your country in reaction to the barbaric events in London.
The hard core of America is the same. They come from everywhere but they have that in common. We're not going to give this up; if the Terrorists want it they will have to take it, and I don't think they have what it takes.
Sounds good to me! I've been suggesting we have trials for the detainees all along, and once we determine who is guilty, hang 'em high!
Unfortunately, 40% of our country are mentally ill/ DemocRats, who hate America and our good Allies like the UK!
Prayers, MI. I take some comfort, as I hope you and your countrymen do, that along with our individual pledges that President Bush stands with you. We are not content to offer sympathy, we are only more resolved to seek victory.
What do we know so far? Is there a collected status anywhere?
I agree. Even honest liberals realize that this is an attack on our way of life, there's no differentiation between libs and conservatives by the murderous thugs/religion of peace members.
Lando 
Amen to that Joe. The only problem is we (American public) don't see that and until we wake up, we are extremely vunerable, aren't we?
Thanks for the ping - haven't had a moment to scroll through comments, but I do want to say that I agree with your comments to MadIvan. We do stand with England and any country willing to fight to save western civilization.
My thoughts and prayers are with the people of London right now. This will only strengthen the resolve of freedom-loving people.
I'm glad that you are okay, Ivan.
Have they not learned what the Armada, Napoleon and Hitler learned when they tried to destroy England????
THERE'LL ALWAYS BE AN ENGLAND!!!!
If captured, lets be sure the terrorists have a good breakfast and receive newly printed copies of the Koran. In addition lets be sure that they are free to pray to their idol at each appropriate time during waking hours.
Thnx
