A major London Underground stop was evacuated after "someone set off a flare".

       Firefighters rushed to the scene in King's Cross Station to tackle the ongoing incident after commuters reported feeling "extremely dizzy".

       A TFL spokesperson said: "King's Cross St. Pancras station is closed while we respond to a fire alert."

       A police officer at the scene confirmed: “Someone has set off a flare in the underground and we’ve had to shut down the area.

       "Firefighters are down there now. We don’t know when we’ll open the underground again."

       TFL said in a post on X - formerly known as Twitter - that the station has now re-opened.
