Unconfirmed Report of Explosion on Oxford Street

Twitter talking about it, completely unconfirmed at the moment, just speculation, nothing has been confirmed but apparently there has been an explosion and a building has collapsed on Oxford Street, happened during the leadership debate apparently.

Again I reiterate, unconfirmed, could be nothing.

Ooh

noooooo

People on twitter in London have been tweeting about it, all unconfirmed mind, Apparently at the 'Footlocker'.

Could be completely false though, been known to happen before.

I have reuters and bbc news open.

Bond Street Station is closed at Police Request.

Twitter has conflicting views atm, some saying it's happened, some saying it's not, some saying it was a gas leak, some saying full blown explosion. No idea.

lets just hope its shoe gas

the oxford street webcam is down.

hearings its not terrorism, electrical

It finally got to BBC!

It's a pretty boring story though

Glad no one was hurt.

Here is a link to a picture of the immense damage.
