Parts of famous department store evacuated
A 'loud bang' today at London department store Selfridges followed by a loss of power to some parts of the store sparked a scare today.

Shortly after 2.30pm the bang was followed by the loss of electricity on the lower ground floor. The area of the store around the young fashion Spirit department has been cleared while the problem is solved.

A source at the store said of the incident: 'Some people thought it was a bomb, but it wasn't it was an electrical problem and they are trying to fix it now.'

The source said the store had remained open throughout the incident.
