A power-related incident at Google Cloud's London infrastructure disrupted banking services, business operations and court hearings on 20 October 2026. Google subsequently reported that services had recovered for most customers, although a small number continued to experience problems.
Google attributed the outage to a 'power event' in its 'europe-west2-b' zone, part of its London cloud region. Customers of Revolut, Halifax, Lloyds Bank, Bank of Scotland and HSBC reported problems during the disruption.
