Were you caught up in it all CJ? i thought you were just in london but not london bridge
Was working in a bar round the corner from London Bridge. There was some commotion and realised something was happening up that way. Not sure why but what happened in Westminster came to mind straight away. I was running towards the bridge to see if it was a similar incident and if so if anyone needed help & ended up running along side a guy who was doing the same thing. There were lots of people running towards us really scared so we quickly realised it was quite bad.
We ran up the steps and saw some of the people on the road and pavement quite clearly. They were in a pretty bad way. The Old Bill had just arrived and after a brief conversation with them we left and was helping to direct people and to calm others down as some were hysterical and literally just running round in circles.
Ended up losing the chap that I was with initially. Although it's very unlikely it'll ever happen, I would love to get in touch with him. I felt quite calm considering what was happening but he was something else. I got the impression it didn't phase him at all. He seemed to have thought it all through quite quickly. As we got to the bottom of the steps he said to me that if it is the worst case scenario and they're still up there & we can't get out any other way we had to go feet first in the Thames! Also said you go one way and I'll go the other etc. Some bloke!
Must've been out for an hour and after going back into the bar we were told to evacuate. The police reversed that and locked us down for a couple of hours.
