WALTHAMSTOW'S Mall shopping centre in Selborne Walk has been closed "until further notice" this lunchtime following concerns over potential violence.

A number of other shops in central Walthamstow have also closed.

There are no reports of any violence.

No-one from the Mall was available for comment, but a member of staff said he did not know when it would reopen.

At least three shops in the Mall - JD Sports, CEX and Bhs - were all targeted by looters during disturbances on Sunday night.
