A man was shot dead outside a London pub in a suspected gang attack in front of horrified bystanders.

The victim of the attack in Clapham area, home to many wealthy residents and young professionals, is believed to be a 25-year-old man.

Police and paramedics were seen outside the Landor Pub in Clapham North on Monday night.

The street has been closed and cordoned off while forensics teams investigate this morning. 

Witnesses heard three gunshots from outside the pub while terrified residents reported hearing ‘bangs’ at around 10pm last night.

One resident told London Now: ‘It was shortly after 10pm and I heard lots of sirens, and I heard bangs – I think it was five or something.

‘And then I said “do you think they were gunshots?”

She said the sirens eventually quietened down but said she was ‘horrified’ by what she had heard. 

The Metropolitan Police and London Ambulance Service have been contacted for comment.
