Bomb squad detectives were rushed to the area around one of the city’s busiest stations after a “suspicious package” was found in a nearby building.

It came just moments before staff working at BBC Broadcasting House was evacuated following a bomb scare.

Police put London Bridge underground station on lockdown and evacuated several buildings in Tooley Street, in the heart of London, after the suspicious object raised fears of a possible terrorist incident.

Sniffer dogs were seen being led into Counting House, which is the home of the charity Prostate Cancer UK, before police later declared the area safe.

In a seperate incident, staff at the BBC headquarters – just a mile from Buckingham Palace – were affected as Portland Place was cordoned off because of reports of a “suspicious vehicle”.
