LONDON has been rocked by a series of terror attacks which have left 55 dead and scores injured.
Three blasts on the Underground network and a bomb attack on a bus brought carnage and chaos to the capital during the morning rush-hour.
SEVEN people were killed in the first blast at 8.51am which took place 100 yards into a tunnel out of Liverpool Street Station in the Aldgate area.
The second explosion, five minutes later, left 21 dead on the Underground between King's Cross station and Russell Square.
SEVEN people died when a bomb tore through up to three trains at Edgware Road at 9.17am.
At least TWO people were killed when a double decker bus blew up in Upper Woburn Square at 9.47am
