Foreign Secretary William Hague has said there are "undoubtedly" British nationals caught up in the terror attack in Kenya.
Mr Hague said the attack on a shopping centre in the Kenyan capital of Nairobi was "callous and cowardly and brutal".
His comments came after Number 10 confirmed the Prime Minister had spoken to Kenya's President Kenyatta.
The Foreign Office said it was on standby to give consular assistance to any British citizens.
The head of the UK's diplomatic service Simon Fraser said the foreign officer was "working hard" on the crisis to help all involved.
Close ties
Mr Hague said earlier on Twitter: "UK ties with Kenya very close. Appalled by the attack and my thoughts are with everyone affected by it."
His words were echoed by minister for Africa Mark Simmonds, who condemned the attack and offered his "deep sympathy to those affected".
Mr Simmonds said he had spoken to Kenya's foreign minister.
Mr Hague confirmed that the government's emergency response committee, Cobra, held a meeting on Saturday afternoon regarding the attacks.
