Transport for London (TfL) has said sorry for issuing parking tickets to drivers who had to abandon their cars following the terror attack at London Bridge.

The operator apologised for its "insensitive mistake" after penalty charge notices were handed out in Borough High Street when the police cordon was scaled back on Wednesday morning.

The fines, which can be up to £130, will be cancelled, a TfL spokesman said.


He said: "We unreservedly apologise for our insensitive mistake. These fines should never have been issued and will all be immediately cancelled."

It is understood there will be wardens in the area for the rest of the week but no cars that have been parked within the police cordon will be fined.
