Absolutly HUGE black smoke erupting up somewhere near where I work in Old Street. Something has gone bang big time.

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.

Exploison in London

Just north of Docklands, black smoke in the sky. Cant see anything on the news channels 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.

Its only Stratford so will cause an improvement to the area

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

Now reporting it is a warehouse fire

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!!

Stratford / Hackney Wick area

It's near the Olympic site, apparently...

 

[Seagullible]

can see a black cloud over London from our office in Slough!

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.

Blocking out the sun, according to my missus

[beorhthelm]

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

Clearing the Olympic site on the cheap?
