I had to fly in to Heathrow the following day and took the empty tube to Victoria. It was virtually empty and those few passengers scrutinised each other and their baggage constantly.

I was at work, a lorry driver delivering to us told me. This wasn’t long after my dad died and I had a heart attack (unrelated obviously) two months later.

This wasn’t a good year.

It's terrible what happened, but I do find it weird how the media Americanised it with the 7/7.

No dates were ever given to any other Terrorist act on mainland Britain and there has been plenty of attrocitties between 1970s-1990s.

Sat in a restaurant in Spain and all the waiters were watching the tv, everyone just assumed it was a movie playing in the background to start with until the news pages started flashing up.

I was in the us at that point. I often listened to LBC but it wasn't heavily shown on US ews so it passed me by somewhat. Listening today about it no revenge attacks were made on anyone *brown*. I'm not sure that would be true today.

I was at work. We'd been in the country barely a year. My wife was temping at the Red Cross, and they had to go into emergency preparedness to potentially support their London operation. I remember it very clearly.

I actually had training that day near Kings Cross underground.I remember when I got to Edmonton Green deciding to get the bus instead of the train then Piccadilly line to Kings Cross.Good job I did otherwise I could have been on the Piccadilly line on the train that blew up.When I got to the training centre we told to wait until 10.30 before been sent home.I didn’t get home until 3.00 as every bus from Angel Islington was full.It was only after reading the times the bombs went off that I realised that I had a lucky escape.

I was working away in a bike shop basement on Grays Inn Road (parallel to the Tavistock Square bus explosion), totally unaware of what had been happening, I rode my bike in that morning, got to work long before anything happened, and one of my colleagues had his mp3 player hooked up to the shop stereo, so didn’t hear any news flashes on the radio etc..

It wasn’t until friends/family finally got through to my phone that I knew what had happened

May those who lost their lives that day continue to rest in peace, and although time is a great healer, I’m sure the families of the deceased will never get over how their loved ones were so cruelly taken 😢"
. The training I had that day was in Grays Inn Road.I haven’t been back since as I have no reason to.

I was in Ireland, wondering where abouts in London my brother was. It was a long few hours before we heard from him. We were fortunate.

It was a terrible day. RIP ❤️

North East / London

It was a sunny day, so instead of taking the circle line from Liverpool St, I decided to walk above ground to Mansion House.

I met one of the survivors last year who is a real inspiration.

I was supposed to be at the queen and Paul Rodgers concert the day after that horrific event. It was rescheduled for a week later, it was so surreal being in London. The noise was gone and it was so quite. Not just near the sites but everywhere. I remember the concert but the biggest thing to stick in my mind that night was the tribute the band did for the emergency service workers.

I'm originally from near Luton so remember it vividly.

I don’t like to think about this as I find it so dark

Was stuck underground on a tube a train on the circle line. It was around 9am hot and the lights went out pitch black sweaty eary silence.

Then the emergency dim lights came on. Over the tannoy the driver announced reason for stop was power surges. You could smell the fear people tried not to look a at each other in the carriage. What seemed like eternity but was only an hour we were allowed out at Farringdon

Police everywhere running, helicopters up Confused I stumbled through Smithfield meat market traders setti no up and went south to get to the river and grabbed a water taxi back to Paddington

Distinctly remember earlier that morning before I boarded my circle line a young Asian chap on a pay phone he starred into my soul and the fear he had on his face like a cry for help….

Hated tubes and backpacks ever since

I have reason to remember this.

I was sat in my car one road over from where the bus was blown up. It was one huge bang and then silence.

No phones worked. Went into where I was working and phoned home on a land line. Then contacted the rest of my team and we left for the day.

London was a mess for a couple of weeks after this with all the extra security.

I don't consider myself paranoid, but whenever I use the tube I will get on either the first or last carriage, my 'reasoning' being if some nutter is going to do something similar , the best point from which to do most damage is the middle of the train
