Overview
- The South East regional bulletin was taken off air, with viewers shown BBC London as presenter Thomas Magill explained the evacuation.
- BBC Breakfast continued nationally with Sally Nugent and Jon Kay, and other regional handovers proceeded as scheduled.
- BBC South East had not provided additional information or an official comment at the time of publication, according to outlets that sought a response.
- Later London bulletins made no reference to the evacuation, suggesting the immediate disruption had passed by the end of the programme.
- The incident follows a separate recent disruption in Scotland, where a fire at BBC Scotland’s Glasgow headquarters took Radio Scotland’s breakfast output off air.
