Police hunting for an elderly South Korean tourist, who vanished after becoming separated from her family on the London Underground, have said she has been found.

Hoyeon Jang, who does not speak English, was last seen 48 hours ago getting on a Northern Line train to High Barnet at Embankment station.

Her family said the doors closed before her husband and son could board.

Despite signalling for her to get off when it next stopped at Charing Cross, they were unable to find Ms Jang when they arrived.


They also searched Archway but after several hours reported her missing at 8.05pm, the Metropolitan Police said.

Jang was getting on a Northern Line train to High Barnet at Embankment station.

The Met appealed for sightings of the woman, saying they were ‘increasingly concerned’ for her welfare.



Today she was located in Stratford at around 5.15pm.

Officers said she is ‘safe and well’.
