<\/p>\nGoogle Cloud services have failed across Europe after a “power event” at a data centre based in London, according to the tech giant’s website.<\/p>\n
The issue has reportedly affected banks and other websites across the continent.<\/p>\n
The Google Cloud website is not reporting serious issues in any other region, but said that services in parts of Europe could experience “elevated errors and intermittent network issues”.<\/p>\n
“Due to a power event we had suffered an outage within europe-west2-b zone,” the Google Cloud website said.<\/p>\n
Google said the incident began shortly after 6am UK time and that its engineering teams were investigating.<\/p>\n

“We can confirm that all our customers\u2019 money and data are safe.”<\/p>\n
Another major British bank, Halifax, wrote on X that customers were “having issues with our app and online”.<\/p>\n
