First Bombing
The first bombing occurred at 11:30, when a bus exploded in Knightsbridge.

All trains in and out of the City were terminated at suburban stations. Passers-by took photos of the immediate aftermath of the explosion, which was felt up to 4 miles away. Nobody was found on-scene to be linked to the bombing, and the HGV was found to have been driven by a hijacking of the Auto-Drive feature which was applied to all UK Vehicles in 2027.

The explosion of the HGV coincided with the start of Anti-Terrorism discussions, which meant that the bombing was delayed to explode exactly when this occurred. Photos of the Aftermath of the explosion was caught by a fishmonger at the market.
