Westminster terror attack: Photos of London on lockdown

On the ground — A violent attack in London has shaken the United Kingdom, with the death toll still unclear. Photographer Theo McInnes was in Westminster in the moments following the incident, and captured the aftermath.

On Wednesday afternoon The Houses of Parliament in London came under attack. Reports are still developing, but civilians appear to have been run over on Westminster Bridge, a police officer stabbed to death, and the assailant has been shot dead. Parliament remains on lockdown, as does much of the surrounding area.

Photographer Theo McInnes was in the area in the minutes following the incident.
