The station was closed for two hours after officers called to reports of a suspicious vehicle at 8.46am. The Metropolitan Police cordoned off roads in the surrounding area and sent a bomb disposal robot to to examine a car, which was found to pose no threat.
A spokesperson said: “The vehicle was not suspicious, although is believed stolen. The road will remain closed for a short time while the vehicle is recovered. Local people and motorists are thanked for their patience.”
I used to work just opposite the station. The NLA Tower.........the hexagonal one - aka The Fifty-pence piece tower.
Happy days.
I worked there too 2000 to 2006! I'll show my age bu calling it the thrupenny bit Tower, now it's not even NLA but Croydon no 1.
I was there years earlier........1986 to 1988. Handy for when we were at Selhurst as I often worked overtime on a Saturday for a few hours until lunchtime & went there straight from work.
