London tourist attractions closed after U.K. warns another attack likely

By Alanna Petroff May 24, 2017: 10:24 AM ET

Some of London's tourist attractions were shut down on Wednesday after the U.K. warned that another terrorist attack could be imminent and deployed members of the military to guard key locations in the city.

The Houses of Parliament have been closed to the public and all tours have been canceled, a precaution recommended by the police. The defense ministry canceled the Changing of the Guard ceremony outside Buckingham Palace, and the Bank of England said its museum would not open to visitors.

Chelsea Football Club canceled a parade planned for Sunday in London to celebrate winning the English Premier League. Arsenal has also canceled a screening of Saturday's match against Chelsea at their Emirates Stadium in north London.

Other popular tourist attractions -- including the Tower of London and Kensington Palace -- said they would remain open with increased security.

Britain is reeling from an explosion that killed at least 22 people in Manchester on Monday, the deadliest terror attack to hit the country since the London bombings in July 2005. On Tuesday, Prime Minister Theresa May raised the country's terror threat level to "critical," signaling that intelligence services believe another attack is imminent.
