Shoppers from Stratford Westfield have been evacuated following reports that there has been a fire.
The east London shopping centre was emptied a couple of hours earlier when the alarm sounded.
Videos from shoppers on social media show crowds gathered around the entrance as security directs them.
Last week around 40 firefighters and eight engines rushed to the same shopping centre after reports of a blaze on the first floor.
Pictures from the scene appeared to show smoke coming out of a Watches of Switzerland shop and hundreds of customers raced to leave the centre which is near the Olympic Park as smoke filled the main concourse.
