A damaged window at an office block has closed a main road junction near Canary Wharf.

The junction between Westferry and Marsh Wall closed ‘due to a dangerous, insecure item’ Tower Hamlets police tweeted earlier this evening.

A Met spokesman also confirmed that officers were called at 3.20pm to reports of a damaged window at an office building.

A cordon has been in place at the foot of the building ‘as a precaution’ while engineers assess the damage.
