I thought there were rather a lot of people at the crossroads of Grafton Way and Tottenham Court Road while we were having lunch in nearby Ask Pizza. On leaving there was a large amount of people, empty buses lined up each side of the road, and a steady press of police vehicles and sirens towards Warren Street Tube Station, where we now know there to have been a bomb, or at least a detonator explosion. We didn’t think too much of it as there is an obvious jumpiness at the moment, although it didn’t help our servers all being down when we got back to worki so we couldn’t find out what was going on. One colleague even went to Tottenham Court Road to buy a radio. Luckily, it doesn’t seem too bad although there is some uncertain excitement still at nearby University College Hospital (the HOSP next to the word GOWER on the above linked-to Streetmap map). I believe the trains are still going from Kings Cross so I hope getting home will be a lot easier than a fortnight ago.
