Victoria train station was evacuated on Friday morning after an unexploded World War II bomb was discovered.

Thousands were ordered out of both the tube and mainline station during the morning rush hour, according to The Metro.

Armed police were sent into the building and were also seen outside after the old explosive was discovered on a nearby building site.

The incident was stood down by police at roughly 10.15am and commuters were granted access to the station once more.
