Police have cordoned off three London underground stations after reports of three explosions in the capital.

Warren Street, Oval and Shepherd's Bush tube stations have been closed.

Reports said dummy explosions using detonators had caused the three tube stations to be evacuated.

An explosion also occurred on the No 26 bus travelling from Waterloo to Hackney. Reports said the explosion blew out the windows of the top deck of the bus in the Shoreditch area.

There are reports of only one injury.

A spokeswoman said that police were not treating the event as a "major incident yet".
