Emergency workers evacuated more than 2,000 people from an office building in central London after a large gas leak was reported. The incident occurred on Old Broad Street in the city centre earlier this morning. Authorities established a 200-metre cordon around the area as a precaution.
Emergency services were called to the scene following reports of the gas leak. The evacuation was ordered to ensure public safety. No injuries have been reported. The cause of the leak is under investigation.
This is not the first such incident in the area. Similar evacuations have occurred in recent months due to gas-related emergencies. Local authorities have been working to improve infrastructure and safety protocols in the city centre. The situation highlights ongoing concerns about aging utility systems in urban areas.
