London Bangla A Force for the community…
A MASSIVE power cut is taking place across a large part of the capital. UK Power Networks say that this is because “A fault has occurred on an underground electricity cable in the local area.”

Postcodes affected by the power cut are:
E15, E14, E17, E20, E28
E2 9, E5 0, E8 1, E8 2, E8 3, E8 4
E9 5, E9 6, E9 7
EC2A 3, EC2A 4, EC2M 3, EC2M 4, EC3A 7
IG3 8 – plus some postcodes beginning N, NW or W2.
The power went out at around 11.30am, and UK Power Networks were hoping to restore power by 1pm at the latest.
