A large fire broke out at an industrial site in Neasden, northwest London, on Friday, less than a mile from Wembley Stadium, where AEW All In: London is set to take place.
The London Fire Brigade dispatched 20 fire engines and roughly 125 firefighters to Hannah Close, where a blaze at a waste facility consumed an industrial unit measuring approximately 100 by 150 meters.
The scale of the incident required three 32-meter aerial ladders, drones, a specialized hose unit, and a high-capacity pump. More than 70 calls came in starting at 11:34 a.m. BST, and residents in the surrounding area were told to stay indoors with doors and windows shut due to heavy smoke. The cause of the fire has not been determined.

1:24 PM · Aug 28, 2026The biggest concern for the area right now is transportation. The Metropolitan Line has been fully suspended, the Jubilee Line has no service between Willesden Green and Wembley Park with severe delays across the rest of its route, and rail services through London Marylebone have also been impacted.
That matters because Wembley Park, one of the primary stations for fans heading to the stadium, is served by both the Jubilee and Metropolitan lines.
Despite the fire’s proximity, AEW and Wembley Stadium’s official pages are continuing to promote All In London as scheduled. AEW’s website also still lists the “Welcome to Wembley” activities at the Great Hall for both Friday and Saturday.
