At least 84 people have been killed in France after a truck ploughed into a crowd in the French resort of Nice, in what President Francois Hollande on Friday called a “terrorist” attack on revellers watching a Bastille Day fireworks display.
The UK’s official threat from global terrorism remains “severe”, the level that was set in August 2014, meaning an attack is highly likely.
Mrs May said she was “shocked and saddened by the horrifying attack”.
The spokeswoman said a small number of British nationals had been injured in the attack. “After Brussels, after Instanbul, after Nice, the police and the security experts will rightly review measures to make sure we’re safe”, he added.
He said a meeting of the Government’s emergency committee Cobra was being held today to discuss any implications of the latest attack in France, on British soil.
Cllr Clyde Loakes, deputy leader and cabinet member for environment, said: “It is very encouraging to see the new Mayor of London showing a firm commitment to tackling air pollution”.
Offering his sympathies to the people of Nice over the “unspeakable act of terror”, Khan said: “today we will be reviewing our own safety measures in light of this attack”.
“It is really important that we don’t allow those involved in this evil and cowardly attack to change the way we live our lives”.
“There are lots of Londoners of French origin”.
“All of London will be thinking about the people of Nice today”.

“We of course intend to take extra measures for events linked to the national holiday (on July 21)”, Michel said.
