A power outage at a Google Cloud data centre near London disrupted services at several UK banks on Tuesday, affecting customers of Revolut, Lloyds and HSBC, as well as businesses including property website Rightmove and delivery services.

Google said the incident began at 0608 GMT and was caused by a power-related event at its cloud infrastructure. By 1210 GMT, most services had returned to normal, around six hours after the disruption began.
