MI6 building in central London cordoned off by police
The MI6 building in central London has been cordoned off this afternoon as police investigate a suspect package.
A Met Police spokesman said local officers were on the scene at a building in Vauxhall, and no other details will be disclosed.
The Foreign & Commonwealth Office has been contacted for comment.
A number of roads in the surrounding area were closed this afternoon, but have now reopened.
TV presenter Eamonn Holmes was caught up in the disruption earlier today:
