December 23, 2015 02:47

One of London's most famous shopping streets was today temporarily evacuated as Scotland Yard investigated a suspicious vehicle which was later cleared by the bomb squad.

Regent Street in central London, which is currently over-crowded with last-minute Christmas shoppers, came to a standstill as police set up a cordon outside Hamley's toy store in the middle of the street.

The vehicle in question was later confirmed as "non-suspicious".

Offices and shops in the area had to be placed under lock-down briefly as the Metropolitan Police bomb squad was called in to inspect the suspicious vehicle in the middle of the road.
