Golders Green station reopens as police give all clear
Golders Green station in north London has reopened after police gave the all clear following a security alert.
The underground station had been evacuated and closed earlier this morning when police were called to deal with an abandoned car outside the underground station, but Barnet police have since said there was nothing suspicious about the vehicle.
Checks have shown the vehicle in Golders Green to be not suspicious and the roads are now reopening. Thank you for everyone's patience.
