Defiant Londoners have reached out and offered to help anyone caught up in a bomb blast which hit an underground train this morning.
People across the capital have offered to make tea and open up their homes to anyone wounded in the blast on a train at Parsons Green in west London.
Taxi drivers have also come to the aid of those affected, offering free journeys while Facebook users are inviting victims in to shelter, rest and charge their phones.
Social media awash with people offering to ‘put the kettle on’ for those affected by the Parsons Green bomb blast
Nearby taxi company Hayber Cars has offered its services free of charge, while Chelsea and Fulham Dentist, has also offered people a place to shelter.
Kind-hearted Debbie Clark, 57, has opened up her home on Kelvedon Road as a makeshift hospital while a police hunt is underway for the perpetrators behind the terror incident.
The mother of two woke up to hear banging at her front door from her neighbour Princess Stafford, who is deaf and mute and had been badly injured in a stampede as hundreds rushed out of the station following an explosion.
Ms Clark said: ‘I woke up to banging and she was at my door crying and distressed.’
Across the road, Ms Clark said she saw three girls opposite her home, one was crying and said there were all ‘as white as a sheet’.
Taking them into her home, she gave them water and called their parents. She said: ‘they are just in shock. They said it happened so quickly, they just wanted to get out of there. One was from Sheffield, another from Surrey.’
She said: ‘I brought them all into my home, called the police and their parents. I just wanted to do something, you feel so helpless. I’ve lived here all my life and was born in Parson’s Green, you never expect something like this to happen.’

Her neighbor Princess is currently on Ms Clark’s balcony with two chairs creating a makeshift stretcher with a suspected leg injury.
The 32-year-old was pushed to the floor by panicked commuters this morning as she waited to board a train at Parson’s Green to take her to work.
She told MailOnline how she was knocked to the ground and trapped. She said: ‘I couldn’t move, there were people on top of me and walking over me.’
The rush was so great she was pushed back to the stairwell, she said.
With tears in her eyes, she communicated to MailOnline how she couldn’t breathe becuase of the number of people passing over her.
This afternoon she waits to be taken to hospital at Ms Clark’s home. She was told by London Ambulance they could be waiting for up to four hours.
Ms Clark said: ‘They are going to send a non emergency could take two to four hours because there have been serious injuries we understand. She can’t communicate she can’t hear and talk, good job I was in I am so glad I was in for her.’
