Londoners opened their doors and put on their kettles for passengers caught in the terror incident at Parsons Green station on Friday (September 15).

Commuters fled the station at around 8.20am after a device in a plastic bag exploded on a District Line train triggering panic and injuring 22 passengers.

The Metropolitan Police has confirmed the incident was being treated as a terrorism and is being supported in its ongoing investigation of the incident by MI5 intelligence experts.

As terrified crowds gathered outside Parsons Green and the emergency services arrived the reaction of nearby residents was heart-warming and typically British.

Many tweeted that their doors were open and offered to put the kettle on for those affected.

Hammersmith resident, Katy Dunn, took to Twitter to offer cups of tea to anyone feeling "shocked or confused."

She said: "If anyone is feeling shocked or confused at #ParsonsGreen, I'm round the corner and the kettle's on."

She followed up the tweet with another offering a "great selection of gins" to those in need of stronger stuff.

Technical consultant, James Edge also reached out on Twiitter.

He said: "Anyone who's now stuck in Parsons Green/Fulham drop me a line and I'll get the kettle on!"

Fulham doctor, Hugh Coyne, visited the scene to offer help to the emergency services.

He tweeted: "Have just been down to Parson's Green tube to offer help, apparently no 'major injuries'.

"If anyone needs help come down to @CoyneMedical ."
