The Evening Standard, Sky News Online, Press Association and BBC Online all report on the suspect Second World War device that was discovered early on Thursday morning on a building site. The discovery resulted in the closing of two nearby polling stations for the EU elections as well as the evacuation of approximately 1,500 homes and Kingston University as a precautionary measure. The Metropolitan Police and Kingston Council confirmed that the Army EOD team had been called in to assist and that the device had been successfully dealt with.
