On 21 July 2005 , a second series of explosions were reported in London , two weeks and some hours after the 7 July 2005 London bombings . Four controlled explosions , of devices considerably less advanced than those of the previous attacks , were carried out at Shepherd 's Bush , Warren Street and Oval underground stations , and on a bus in Shoreditch . Even though the attacks on 21 July were less severe than those two weeks earlier , Blair was reported to have said that the bombings in London today were intended " to scare people and to frighten them , to make them anxious and worried " . He went on to say how the " police have done their very best , and the security services too , in the situation , and I think we have just got to react calmly and continue with our business as much as possible normal "
