St Paul’s underground station in the London’s financial district has been closed as police respond to a security alert in the area.

A spokesman for City of London Police said: “We are currently in attendance in St Martin’s Le Grand (EC1) following a report of a suspicious package inside a building. Called at 10.23am.

“Cordons are in place around the street and people are advised to avoid the surrounding area. More when we have it.”

Nearby office workers said they have been told to keep away from windows and stay inside, others shared pictures of colleagues gathered on stairwells as emergency procedures were implemented.
