There have been more than 300 suspected cases of measles amid a major outbreak of the virus in London, a leaked official document has shown.

An internal report from the UK Health Security Agency shows there have been 340 suspected cases of measles in the capital since the start of 2026.

The report, marked “official sensitive”, also reveals that 34 confirmed cases have been from just one school in Enfield, north London, between 20 January and 7 February this year.

The new figures, seen by The Independent, come after health officials raised concerns over an outbreak in northeast London where vaccination rates for measles are in decline. A child also died with measles in Liverpool last year, while the UK recently lost its measles elimination status.
