The incident occurred just before 7 p.m. when multiple calls reported that a vehicle had left the road and crashed into the building, causing chaos during the busy evening hours.
Teams from the Metropolitan Police, London Ambulance Service, and London Fire Brigade arrived promptly at the scene to assist those trapped and assess the situation. Haymarket has been closed to traffic, with diversions in place for buses serving the area as emergency personnel continue to respond.
Details regarding the number of individuals involved or injured remain unclear. Authorities have yet to confirm the cause of the collision, and investigations are ongoing to understand how the vehicle veered off the road and into the restaurant.
The Metropolitan Police have advised the public to avoid the area and allow emergency teams to carry out their work safely. Further information, including updates on any injuries and the status of those involved, is expected as the situation unfolds.
