Police were sent to London Bridge station following reports of a "suspicious item" on board a train earlier.

The station was evacuated and closed as a precaution as officers assessed the item, the British Transport Police (BTP) added.

Trains were scheduled not to stop there, but the station has since reopened, the BTP said.

A BTP spokesman said: "Specialist officers assessed the item and it was deemed to be non suspicious. The station has now reopened as a result."
