Wembley fire latest: Huge plume of smoke over London as blaze near stadium and Ikea sparks rail chaos

A significant fire broke out on an industrial estate near Wembley Stadium, prompting the evacuation of a nearby Amazon warehouse. The London Fire Brigade deployed 20 fire engines and approximately 125 firefighters to the scene in Neasden. Residents were advised to close doors and windows and remain indoors due to heavy smoke. The fire caused severe disruptions to London's transportation network, including the full suspension of Tube services on the Metropolitan line and severe delays on the Jubilee line. IKEA Wembley confirmed it was not affected by the blaze, and all London Energy employees were reported to be safe. Disruptions at London Marylebone station are expected to last until 7 pm.
