An explosion has been heard in the area of London’s Baker Street underground tube station, which prompted Londoners to question if it was a bomb going off or a controlled police explosion.
The station had previously been evacuated earlier due to a suspicious vehicle being abandoned.
Circle Line issued a tweet announcing that the station is closed whilst they investigate a security alert outside the station.
Many Londoners took to Twitter to discuss the heavy police presence and the loud explosion.
The cause of the explosion is currently not known.
Circle Line has further announced that the station is now open, the cause of the shutdown is likely to be due to the abandoned vehicle.
