Several streets in London’s central Soho neighbourhood have been shut down twice since Monday after an unexploded halftone World War II bomb and its parts were discovered during work on a building site, APA reports quoting sputniknews.

People from the busy area, famous for its bars, clubs, and theatres, were first evacuated on Monday as a Royal Engineers bomb disposal unit was called to remove the dangerous find. Police put a cordon up, blocking Soho’s busiest streets, namely Oxford Street and Charing Cross Road.
