Reuters reports:

British police rushed to an incident on London Bridge on Saturday after witnesses said a van ploughed into pedestrians.

Police said they were dealing with an incident but gave no further details. A Reuters reporter near the scene said she saw 10 police cars rushing towards London Bridge.

A witness told the BBC she saw a speeding white van veering into pedestrians. The witness said the van hit five to six people.

There are some media interviews with witnesses at the scene.

Reports of gunfire:

This, of course, is reminiscent of the terror attack on the Westminster Bridge this past March, which killed six.
