A huge fire has broken out less than a mile from Wembley Stadium, just two days before AEW All In takes over the iconic London venue.

Around 125 firefighters and 20 fire engines were sent to an industrial estate on Hannah Close in Neasden, north-west London, on Friday.

The London Fire Brigade received the first of more than 70 calls at 11:34am, with crews from Wembley, Park Royal, Willesden and surrounding stations responding.

A large amount of smoke has been produced by the blaze, with people living nearby being urged to remain indoors and keep their windows and doors closed.

Three 32-metre ladders have also been deployed alongside a drone team, hose-laying unit and high-volume pump.

Unconfirmed reports circulating on social media have claimed the fire is at a waste and recycling facility and that an explosion may have occurred. However, the London Fire Brigade has not confirmed either claim.

The cause of the blaze remains unknown, and there have been no reported injuries at this stage.

The fire has caused significant transport problems around the Wembley area.

Transport for London reported the Metropolitan line was suspended, while there was also no Jubilee line service between Willesden Green and Wembley Park. Other parts of the Jubilee line were experiencing minor delays.

Rail services into London Marylebone were also disrupted, while smoke from the blaze was reportedly visible from as far away as Westminster.

Both the Metropolitan and Jubilee lines serve Wembley Park, the station used by many fans travelling to Wembley Stadium.

With AEW All In taking place on Sunday, August 30, wrestling fans will be watching closely to see whether transport services return to normal ahead of the event.

There is currently no indication that Sunday's show itself has been affected, and AEW has not commented on the fire.

The incident comes after Wembley Stadium recently faced questions over its use of pyrotechnics.

The Weeknd performed at Wembley on August 14 and ended his concert with a large fireworks display. That happened on the same day the UK government issued an emergency alert warning of a severe wildfire risk across England and Wales.

Wembley defended the display, explaining that it was a controlled performance carried out within the stadium and managed by specialist professionals.

The stadium subsequently met with the Metropolitan Police and London Fire Brigade, while Brent Council said it had received assurances over Wembley's approach.

Reports from the Wrestling Observer Newsletter and Fightful Select have since suggested AEW could reduce the amount of pyro used during All In, although some pyrotechnics are still expected.

Tony Khan was asked about those reports earlier this week and appeared unaware of any changes.

“That’s the first I’ve heard of any of that, so I can’t speculate.”

AEW All In will mark the company's third event at Wembley Stadium and its first at the venue since 2024.

The 2024 event drew 46,476 fans, while the inaugural Wembley show in 2023 remains AEW's biggest event to date.

Sunday's show is scheduled to be headlined by Kenny Omega defending the AEW World Championship against Will Ospreay.

For now, All In remains scheduled to go ahead as planned, but fans travelling to Wembley will want to keep a close eye on transport updates following Friday's major fire.
