An Australian woman and her partner who survived the London terror attack have described the moment three jihadi terrorists stormed the restaurant where they worked.

Candice Hedge, 31, from Brisbane, had her throat slashed during the rampage by three men who crashed a car through crowds on London Bridge last Saturday night before attacking innocent bystanders with knives.

Eight people died as the knifemen screaming Islamist slogans entered restaurants and pubs randomly attacking anyone in their path, before they were shot dead by police.

'They were saying, "This is for our family, this is for Allah. Stop living this life,' Luke told Channel Seven's Sunday Night program.

Ms Hedge was working at Elliot's restaurant at Borough Market near the bridge, along with her boyfriend Luke.

Recalling the ordeal in her first media interview, she described how she looked her attacker in the eye seconds before she was stabbed.

'He looked at me and I looked at him, it really happened so quickly,' Ms Hedge said.

Of the moment she was wounded, she said: 'It was one quick go and that was it. I was vomiting blood.'

The terrorist had slashed Ms Hedge's throat, leaving a deep cut that almost tore through her vocal cords and main artery.

'I could feel the amount of blood and it was warm on my hand,' she said.

'And I could see how much it was and, you know, you see horror movies - it was like that. I was thinking for a moment that I wasn't going to make it.'

The area the terrorists had struck was cordoned off and no ambulances were allowed to enter in fear the attacks were still ongoing.

Ms Hedge was forced to head towards medical help on foot while clutching a piece of cloth to her bleeding throat.

'I was just thinking, "I don't want to die. I want to get through this." And I wanted to get out of there as well. I wanted to get to safety,' she said.

Ms Hedge's sister Amber was frantically trying to reach her from Australia after news broke of the terror attack.

Luke sent back a message with the terrifying words: 'Candy's fine, but she's been stabbed in the neck.'

Her father Ross said he was distraught after learning his daughter was caught up in the brutal stabbing attack.

'It was pretty devastating, especially when I couldn't contact her. It was probably the longest day I've had in my life,' he said.

Ms Hedge's father said earlier this week she hid under a table before she was spotted by one of the terrorists

'He looked at me and I looked at him,' Ms Hegde said. 'It really happened so quickly'

Her father said earlier this week she hid under a table before she was spotted by one of the terrorists.

'At the last minute he saw her come back and stabbed her. She got stabbed to the throat... but it's all good. There's no major damage,' he said.

Ms Hedge's family said she is recovering well and is lucky to be alive after the knife came millimeteres away from a main artery.

On Friday morning, Ms Hedge's grandfather Brian told Daily Mail Australia she was 'going well'.

'She's got a very bad cut on her neck, and she's just 99 per cent lucky it missed her main artery,' he said.

He said she had been speaking 'quite good' since Thursday but was concerned she hadn’t got her appetite back yet.

'She's got a few more tests to go if there's any infection. I don't think she's eating much yet.

'You couldn't even comprehend how lucky she was'.

Following the attacks, Ms Hedge took to Facebook to tell her friends and family she was safe.

'Hey everyone, just so you know I'm doing Ok. Bit of pain but I will survive. Thanks for your thoughts and well wishes. Love to all,' she wrote.

Ms Hedge and her partner say the attack will not deter them from living out their dream in London.

'We've had attack after attack after attack, and all it does is make us stronger. The love and bravery of this city always overpowers the hate, and those cowards - they'll just perish,' Luke said.

'You strike one of us, you strengthen all of us.'
