Police in London are Tuesday afternoon investigating a “security alert” around the key transportation hub London Bridge, with hotels, coffee shops and office buildings in the area on lockdown. A bomb disposal robot was reportedly deployed to carry out a search on an abandoned suspicious vehicle close to the station in the U.K. capital. National Rail said all train services were suspended in and out of the station as “Metropolitan Police have requested that NO trains run through London Bridge until further notice, because of a security alert nearby.” The bus station was also evacuated.
