King's Cross Station evacuated due to 'security alert'

King's Cross Underground Station has been evacuated due to a "security alert." Video online shows crowds of people making their way out of the station amid a station announcement of a "reported emergency."

A status alert from Transport for London reads: "King's Cross St. Pancras: Closed - This station is closed while we respond to a security alert. London Buses are accepting tickets via reasonable routes."

In the video posted to X, an announcement says: "Due to a reported emergency would all passengers leave the station immediately."

The exact nature of the incident is not yet known.
