Looks like a sleepover

London bomb explosions

Just had lunch, as you might expect the mood is very sombre.

It's highly unlikely that many of us will get home tonight. I've got some wash stuff from my gym bag and I can sleep under the desk.

Here's the latest company e-mail:

"We are continuing to monitor the situation outside carefully.
It is clear that the aftermath of the explosions earlier this morning is going to have a devastating effect on the transport system.
At present, we understand that this area is cordoned off, although we are currently getting advice from the police.
At the moment the advice remains to stay in the building.
As soon as we have some guidance from the police we will advise staff immediately.

Once it is clear that it is safe for people to leave the building, those who can get home on foot will be encouraged to do so.
There will be more information about plans for tomorrow (Friday) later today. At the moment we are advising people to cancel all visitors and meetings, and staff who can get home tonight are advised not to try to get in to work tomorrow . The summer party, planned for tomorrow evening will now be cancelled, and hopefully rearranged in the future. (Refunds will be made on tickets purchased).

Some people may find that they cannot get home at all this evening. The building will obviously remain open and we will try to cater for any staff stranded as best we can.

Lastly, if there are any members of staff who were due to come in to the office today, who are still unaccounted for, please contact **** or **** in HR immediately. At the moment we believe that all members of staff are accounted for.

We will continiue to communicate via e-mail, so please check your e-mails regularly. In addition there will be information on the telephone number on the back of our security passes and on the external website.
If anyone does not have access to e-mail in your area, please ensure that you keep them informed.
