27. Some are very close
King's Cross and St. Pancras are 2 overground rail stations, but they share an Underground station (they're on opposite sides of a road). The underground station is typically refered to just as 'King's Cross'.

Moorgate and Aldgate are about 500m either side of Liverpool St. (though it's strange that Moorgate was mentioned, by the Met police commissioner, as a bomb site, since the bomb they now say happened in that area went off in the tunnel between Liverpool St. and Aldgate). Houndsditch is the road that runds between Liverpool St. and Aldgate.

I hadn't heard Old Street mentioned at all. It's the next station to Moorgate (on another line from Liverpool St. though), about 1km away.

Stockwell is way out - south of the river. I'd guess that was a suspicious package, of which there were several, including outside London.

I'd agree that the first numbers came partly from a tunnel explosion being reported in 2 places, and partly from general confusion.
