A team of first responders were seen outside the London Aquatics Centre after a chemical reaction released a quantity of chlorine gas into the air on March 23.

A London Fire Brigade spokesperson said: “Due to a chemical reaction a high quantity of chlorine gas was released. London Ambulance Service are treating a number of patients. Around 200 people were evacuated from the centre. While we ventilate the premises we would ask those residents in the immediate vicinity to close doors and windows.”

Mayor of London Sadiq Khan tweeted: "I remain in close contact with our emergency services who are dealing with a gas-related incident at the London Aquatics Centre this morning.

"A number of people are being treated by @Ldn_Ambulance. Please avoid the area which has been cordoned off and evacuated."
