"Police have responded as if the incident is terrorist related. Armed and unarmed officers are on scene and dealing along with colleagues from British Transport Police," Metropolitan Police said in a statement.
"At this stage police have not located any casualties," the statement added.
Trains are bypassing the station while police investigate. The station is currently closed.
On Twitter, Metropolitan Police urged people to take shelter in a building if they were on Oxford Street.
