Police Investigate Golders Green NatWest Illness Reports After Tests Find No Hazard

Overview

• Police, fire and ambulance crews evacuated the NatWest branch after several people felt unwell Friday at about 3:45pm.
• London Fire Brigade teams used detection equipment and reported no elevated levels of hazardous materials inside the bank.
• Paramedics assessed five people who reported symptoms and none required further treatment after on‑scene checks.
• Forensic examinations continue inside a small scene at the branch, which remained closed Monday morning, and officers report no wider community impact.
• Detectives say it is too early to determine a cause or label the incident suspicious, and they do not suspect a terror link as patrols increase in Golders Green following recent antisemitic attacks.
