A suspected car bomb has exploded near Ealing Broadway station in west London.
The explosion happened just before midnight on Thursday evening.
Eyewitnesses said there was a "huge blast" and the scene around is one of "complete devastation" with shop fronts blown out and "glass everywhere".
There was also flooding, after a water pipe was believed to have burst.
BBC reporter Tom Quinn said he had seen a number of "walking wounded", some who appeared to have head injuries.
However, there are no confirmed reports of any casualties.
Scotland Yard said the cause was not yet known.
Officers said they had received a warning, but could not confirm whether it was a recognised codeword.
Police have cordoned off the area and are searching for secondary devices.
Eyewitnesses said the explosion occurred outside a branch of the Body Shop near The Townhouse pub, in Uxbridge Road, about 100 metres from the Tube and rail station.
i'm in putney at the moment and around 2 hours or so ago we heard a large 'explosion' - though to be honest we thought it was just a car backfiring or something.

Yeah, they should also buy American arms, unjustly attack neighbouring countries, and bomb civilian targets. That'll make this world a safer place.

Hey, maybe we can stop them from bombing people by using our superior linguistic skills....
