Big black cloud of smoke over London

No joke, huge big cloud of smoke has just appeared, east of here (Clerkenwell), looks like it might be over in Docklands/Canary Wharf etc. Nothing on the news as yet.

Are you sure it is an explosion and not just a fire?

Sky News reporting it.. there is a huge plume of black smoke. However, although people are speculating over an explosion, nobody as yet has said anything to confirm that. Conclusions are being drawn from the rising smoke.

Our east london based workers reported feeling a vibration earlier and just another one
 










its in Hackney its absolutely enormous, it seems to be about 100 yards from my house, its that huge, but I imagine its further away.

I would suggest its Clapton/ Homerton in Hackney. I haven't heard an explosion!!

Scotland Yard saying there is not thought to be any terrorist involvement. Reports now saying a bus depot near the Olympic site in Stratford, which would explain the thick black smoke.

All in all, no need to panic Mr Mainwaring!

Sky seems to be reporting it as a fire in a bus depot and Scotland Yard do not believe it is a bomb.

can see it from office (old st/shoreditch) like its down the end of the street, so if its in Stratford it must be massive
