London in lockdown following attacks on Houses of Parliament
One woman has been confirmed dead in an apparent terror attack outside the Houses of Parliament in London.
Some others are said to have 'catastrophic injuries' after a car ploughed into pedestrians on Westminster Bridge.
The alleged attacker is then thought to have stabbed a police officer before being shot.
Scotland Yard says it's being treated as a 'terrorist incident'.
The Prime Minister Theresa May was in the House of Commons chamber at the time, before being rushed to her car.
A Downing Street spokesman says she is safe.
The Houses of Parliament remain in lockdown, as does a large area around the building.
George Parker is a Political Editor at the Financial Times:
He was in the House of Commons at the time of the incident.
