Police locked down Goswell Road and evacuated buildings while they investigated an “unattended bag”.
But the Met has now confirmed it is "non-suspicious" and Goswell Road has reopened.
Islington Police tweeted: "Police cordons were in place due to an unattended bag on a bus in Goswell Road #Islington reported at around 2.30pm. This security alert has now been cleared and is non-suspicious."
Have you been evacuated? Call Lucas at the Gazette newsdesk on 07785 616244.
