Guardian journalist Kate Lyons has more on the evacuations going on in the area around London Bridge:
Guests at hotels in the vicinity of the attack have been evacuated. Zaven Jordan who is visiting from Australia was staying in Novotel Southwark and was woken by a fire alarm.
When guests assembled outside the hotel he said police told everyone to run.
“The police didn’t just give directions, they were yelling run,” he said. “When a fire alarm goes off you expect to assemble and then go back inside in a few minutes. We grabbed our passports just in case, but we weren’t really ready for this.”
He is now walking the streets trying to find somewhere to stay. He says the hotel is not answering their phone, he had been turned away by another hotel and he is uncertain where in the city it is safe to go…
