A central London nightclub was evacuated after reports of gun being fired in the early hours of Sunday.

Revellers were cleared from the The V Club after police received a report of a shot fired at the venue in Farringdon Road at about 3.40am on Sunday, Scotland Yard said.

Officers sealed off the road for about an hour as they searched the area.

However, the Met said no evidence of a gunshot was found and nobody had any injuries.

A Met spokesman added that the club had been due to close 20 minutes later at 4am.

The nightclub has been approached for a comment.
