British Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond called on its citizens to avoid the Lahore blast area where at least 65 were killed and dozens injured during Easter celebrations on Sunday.
"We advise British Nationals in Lahore to avoid the area, monitor FCO travel advice and local media and to follow the advice of local security authorities," Hammond said in statement published by the British government website.
"My thoughts are with the victims and their families. The UK utterly condemns these senseless acts of violence," he added.
"We will continue to provide support and assistance to the government of Pakistan as they work to defeat those who plan and perpetrate these acts of terror."
