Well, most of us do not have time to stand ground, assess/investigate the situation and take necessary action, in such environment. Its perfectly normal to panic and try to flee.
Even police wants us to run (run-hide-tell)

Has the UK lost any sense of proportion?

If you want to see a bunch of entitled whiners, who want to take without contributing, complaining about how unfair life is to them, try this Snowflake Britain.

Maybe it was due to the fake Daily Mail and right winger tweets that caused a lot of panic, i.e.

Child#2 got caught up in this. She works in the area and travels home from Oxford Circus. She was walking to the station, and there were a crowd of people running towards her, and the police shouting "get out of the area and get inside". All the buildings had locked their doors, so there was no "inside". I guess it only takes one or two people to start a panic. Fortunately this time everything was fine.

You are aware that central London has loads of tourists?

Most Londoners and those who commute in from the rest of the SE avoid tourist places like Oxford Circus as much as they can.

Fair point. Almost all of the "eyewitnesses" seemed to be tourists, and when I worked close to Oxford Circus I used to walk to Green Park to get the tube, as it was far less unpleasant.

House of Lords is full of them.
