According to the BBC, Three people were killed, along with the assailant, in Wednesday's attack in Westminster, close to the Houses of Parliament.
Another 29 people needed hospital treatment, of whom seven remain critically injured.
Details have not been given of all the victims.
PC Keith Palmer, 48, was stabbed as he tried to stop the attacker in a courtyard outside the Houses of Parliament.
A father and husband, he was an unarmed member of the Parliamentary and Diplomatic Protection Squad who had served for 15 years.
"A lovely man, a friend. I'm heartbroken", Conservative MP and former colleague James Cleverly tweeted. He said he had known the police officer for 25 years, as the two had served together in the Royal Artillery before PC Palmer joined the police.
In an emotional tribute in the Commons, he later described him as a "strong, professional public servant".
Also addressing MPs, Prime Minister Theresa May said PC Palmer "was every inch a hero and his actions will never be forgotten".
Aysha Frade, who worked at DLD College London, close to Westminster Bridge, also died in the attack.
She was a British national whose mother was Spanish, the Spanish foreign ministry said.
Ms Frade lived in London with her two young daughters and husband, according to Spanish media reports.
Her father was of Cypriot origin, while her mother was from the Galician town of Betanzos, where her two sisters run an English school, the Voz de Galicia reports.
The principal of the independent sixth form college said she worked in the administration team and described her as "a highly regarded and loved" member of staff.
"She will be deeply missed by all of us," Rachel Borland added.
A former neighbour, Patricia Scotland, who lives in the Ladbroke Grove area of London, said the family had lived close by for 40 years before moving away two years ago.
She described Ms Frade as a "lovely mother, a lovely wife".
"She was just a lovely person, with two lovely, lovely girls," she said. "You couldn't ask for better neighbours".
Unnamed killed
The Metropolitan Police said a man in his mid-50s also died, but no further details have been given.
Injured
French schoolchildren
Three French schoolchildren on a school trip to London were among those injured as pedestrians were struck by a car on Westminster Bridge.
They are from the St Joseph's School in Concarneau, Brittany.
The three injured pupils are expected to return to France on Thursday - two of them are reported to have suffered serious fractures, but none is thought to be in a critical condition.
More than 90 students from the school were on the trip to London.
British students
Four students from from Edge Hill University in Ormskirk, Lancashire were among those injured in the Westminster attack.
Owen Lambert and Travis Frain were struck when a car drove along the pavement on Westminster Bridge at the outset of the attack.
They were part of a group of 13 students on a visit, with a lecturer, to the Houses of Parliament.
Mr Lambert, 18, from Morecambe, is understood to have required stitches to a head wound, while Mr Frain, from Darwen, suffered a wrist injury. Two other students needed treatment for lesser injuries.
Other victims
Three police officers, two of whom are in a serious condition, were also injured as they returned from an event marking their bravery in service, the Metropolitan Police said.
Four South Korean tourists, in their 50s and 60s were hurt in a rush of people trying to flee the attack, South Korea's Foreign Ministry said. Two Romanians were also injured.
Also among the injured were 12 British citizens, two Greeks, one German, one Pole, one Irish citizen, one Chinese person, one Italian and one American, Mrs May told MPs.
A seriously injured woman was rescued from the River Thames, but no further details have been given.
