The U.S. embassy moved to Nine Elms, in south London, in 2017 and is a state-of-the-art building with high security measures in place.
Earlier a Met spokesperson said, “We’re aware of speculation online about an incident in the vicinity of the US Embassy in Nine Elms.”
“Cordons are in place in the area as a precaution while officers investigate a suspect package,” he added.
