Suspicious packages found at Heathrow Airport, London City Airport and Waterloo railway station were bombs, police say.
Counterterror officers are investigating the three devices as linked following a series of evacuations on Tuesday.
One of the packages was opened by office staff at Heathrow Airport and burst into flame, but police said no one was injured.
Scotland Yard has not ruled out the existence of other bombs, and has issued advice to transport hubs across London “to be vigilant for and report suspicious packages to police”.
“The packages – all A4-sized white postal bags containing yellow Jiffy bags – have been assessed by specialist officers to be small improvised explosive devices,” a spokesperson said.
