London’s King’s Cross St Pancras Underground station was evacuated this morning amid reports of an “emergency”.

The central London station, which serves numerous Underground, national and international rail lines, descended into chaos as commuters were told to leave.


Footage from the scene showed crowds of commuters leaving the station – though it later became apparent that it had been closed to prevent overcrowding.

Meanwhile, nearby Euston station also fell victim to overcrowding concerns just minutes later – adding to a long list of transport chaos both in the capital and nationwide in the wake of Storm Bert.
