A crash has closed part of Regent Street in the West End on Saturday evening, with traffic diverted and buses missing stops.
The A4201 Regent Street is blocked northbound between Glasshouse Street and Beak Street because of the incident, in the heart of London’s shopping district.
Transport for London says the road is blocked northbound approaching Conduit Street due to a collision, with buses diverted and missing stops between Oxford Circus Station and Piccadilly Circus.
Routes 12, 22, 88, 139, 159 and 453 are affected. The 22 is terminating at Hyde Park Corner Station and will not serve stops to Oxford Circus.
Drivers heading north through the West End on Saturday evening are advised to avoid the area and use alternative routes while the closure is in place.
No details about injuries or when the road is expected to reopen have been confirmed yet.
Regent Street runs between Oxford Circus and Piccadilly Circus and is one of the West End’s busiest shopping streets, carrying heavy bus and taxi traffic as well as large numbers of shoppers, particularly at weekends.
