A double-decker tour bus operated by Golden Tours has crashed into a souvenir stand in Spring Gardens, off Trafalgar Square in central London.

The Metropolitan Police attended the scene and classified it as a 'damage-only collision'. The London Ambulance Service said it did not attend as there were no reported injuries.
