A section of Old Street in London has been reopened after it was temporarily closed while police investigated a suspicious package.
Buses were diverted around the area, according to reports. Police were notified about the suspicious package at around 1.20pm on Thursday, and officers gave the all-clear just before 2pm.
There has been an increased police presence in the capital, which is on high alert following Wednesday's deadly terror attack in Westminster.
