London's police force says it has stepped up patrols in response to the shooting of 49 people at a gay nightclub in Orlando, but has no intelligence to suggest an increased risk in the British capital.
"We have increased our patrols in prime locations and continue to work closely and engage with the LGBT community, visiting clubs and local area offering reassurance and being visible," Metropolitan Police Commander Mak Chishty said on Monday.
London hosts an annual gay pride parade on June 25.
The police said they would keep the number of officers deployed to secure the event under review.
