Avoid the area and follow the advice of local authorities. Brussels-Capital Region is now at threat level 4 of 4. This means you should avoid all non-essential travel, including commuting and taking children to school.

And already not any longer correct. Shooter was neutralized by Belgian police.

IMHO, I do not see how London is safer or less safe than Brussels.
