Police evacuated businesses near The O2 in Greenwich this afternoon after a security alert.
Officers were called to Pier Walk just before 2pm to reports of a security alert in a nearby office.
The building was evacuated as a precaution as police investigated.
People have taken to Facebook to say police are also stopping students getting into Ravensbourne University.
The building was searched and no suspicious items were discovered.
All cordons have now been lifted
