A large police cordon remains in place around Borough Market and London Bridge, but the bridge itself is now open to traffic and pedestrians.

Transport for London (TfL) had said it hoped to run a full service from London Bridge less than 48 hours after three men crashed a car into pedestrians and went on a knife rampage through the market nearby.

However, the Borough High Street entrance to London Bridge tube station was closed and no one was boarding at the station.

At the station’s Tooley Street entrance, a cluster of senior TfL staff directed commuters. “Today it’s going to be exit only until we’re advised otherwise,” said Chris Steer, a TfL area manager.

Steer confirmed that the Borough High Street entrance was closed. A police cordon surrounds it. “We are acting on Met police advice, as soon as they advice us on clearing the road, we will open up,” he said.

Dozens of police stood guard at slipways used by buses leading up to the gleaming new London Bridge train station, opposite which alleys lead directly to Borough High Street, facing the market.

One Pret a Manger manager said she didn’t know if she would be able to reach the shop, which was further down the street towards Borough tube. And she didn’t know whether it would be worth it if she could get there.

“If the road is closed then there are no customers, and I may as well go home,” she said.
