The London equations with a phenomenlogical mass tensor are used to analyze the vortex structure near the lower critical field. The anisotropy results in a transverse magnetic field in the Abrikosov vortex. This field attenuates exponentially at large distances from the vortex axis. The strongly anisotropic attenuation length is evaluated. The line energy is found in the London approximation.
