Regent Street Evacuated After Bomb Scare Declared False Alarm

Central London’s busy shopping district was temporarily shut down as police conducted controlled explosions on a suspicious vehicle, later deemed non-threatening.

Regent Street, one of London's busiest shopping areas, was evacuated after a suspicious vehicle was reported near Hamleys toy store.
Police conducted multiple controlled explosions as a precautionary measure while investigating the vehicle.
The Metropolitan Police later confirmed that the vehicle was non-suspicious, and the incident was fully resolved.
Road closures and evacuations caused significant disruption in the area, affecting nearby streets and businesses.
The incident follows a similar precautionary controlled explosion at Euston railway station in November, which was also a false alarm.
