The threat of terror returned to London today after a car bomb was found in the heart of the capital.
Bomb squad officers defused the "potentially viable" device after police investigated reports of a suspicious vehicle in the early hours.
One police source said the bomb posed a real and substantial threat to the surrounding area, just yards from Piccadilly Circus.
A witness reported seeing gas canisters being removed from the car, believed to be a silver Mercedes, at around 4am.
A massive police cordon was thrown around The Haymarket in the heart of the capital's busy West End.
Dozens of forensic officers were today poring over the crime scene, which was covered by a blue plastic police tent.
Scotland Yard said detectives from Counter Terrorism Command were investigating the potential bomb plot.
A spokesman said: "Police were called to reports of a suspicious vehicle parked in The Haymarket, shortly before 2am this morning.
"As a precautionary measure the immediate area was cordoned off while the vehicle was examined by explosives officers.
"They discovered what appeared to be a potentially viable explosive device. This was made safe.
"The Metropolitan Police Counter Terrorism Command has launched an investigation."
Rush-hour commuters faced disruption as nearby Piccadilly Underground station was closed and was expected to remain so for most of the morning.
The Haymarket is in the heart of London's theatreland and close to the popular shopping area of Regent Street.
