From 7/7 to London Bridge: The eight terror attacks which have blighted UK since 2005

The terror attack in London, which has left seven people dead and 48 injured, is the second atrocity to rock the UK in as many weeks.

It comes after the bombing at an Ariana Grande concert in Manchester which killed 22 people in the worst terror attack in Britain for a decade.

And just a few months earlier, the capital fell victim to a similar terror attack to that which happened in London Bridge, when Khalid Masood launched a car and knife attack over Westminster Bridge, killing five people.

Here is a timeline of recent terror attacks in the UK:-
