Well I'm at work in the middle of London - lots of sirens around here, emails telling us to stay in our building until further notice (after an initial one telling us not to use public transport). I walked out of Victoria station just as their underground was being closed off, people being ushered out very quickly.

BBC Wesbite seems fine. CNN ok too. ITN is working but very slow. Sky seems to have crashed, as you say.

So when did ITV1 leave normal programming, was it at the adverts?

I think so. They came on ITV1 at 10.12am when Andrew Harvey on ITVNC handed over to Steve Scott - I'm asusming that ITV1 were going into adverts at this point, being 18 minutes or so from the end of the chat show they were screening.

BBC came on just before 10.30am. Wright Stuff on Five went to Sky News at 10.48am.
