Police have made safe a suspected car bomb in the heart of London.

Officers carried out a controlled explosion after reports of a suspicious vehicle parked in The Haymarket shortly before 0200 BST (0100 GMT).

One police source said the bomb was a "big device" and posed a real and substantial threat to the area around The Haymarket, which is in London's theatreland, near the busy shopping area of Regent Street

Not this sh-t again

Just heard this on the news this morning.

hmmm it says controlled explosion on the site, but according to the news tonight it was defused by hand to keep the evidence in tact ? It sounds like a monster device though and glad someone saw it and reported it ! apparently it was smoking when they got to it !

Here we go again

Another 2 areas closed off because of suspicious cars as well. No reports of them finding anything yet in those though.

Just returned from a trip into London to IWM, and as usual, London people are carrying on as normal - here's hoping this is a one off lunatic and not the start of another spate.
