London in security alert: London Bridge and BBC evacuated 

London in security alert: London Bridge and BBC evacuated amid bomb scares. LONDON descended into chaos this afternoon after twin bomb scares sparked the mass evacuation of thousands of people from buildings close to BBC Broadcasting House and London Bridge. 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. Earlier office workers described the terrifying moment they were told to leave their buildings and head outside to an evacuation point near the iconic HMS Belfast on the River Thames. Member of staff Gary Haines tweeted: “Update from London Bridge. Sniffer dogs in Counting House, home of @ProstateUK” The police later tweeted that the event had been a false alarm. The Metropolitan Police’s local Southwark account wrote: “Counting House at Hays Galleria safe to return to. We really appreciate your patience and compliance with officer directions at the scene.” http://www.express.co.uk/news/uk/623393/London-Bridge-station-bomb-squad-suspicious-package-Met-Police
