Fire in Stratford

[drplokta]

As others have posted, there's a huge plume of smoke over east London, which I easily saw from street level in Soho a few minutes ago. It appears there's a major fire here, which is near the Olympic site. The Met Office says that the prevailing winds are light but westerly, so the smoke should mostly get blown away from central London (and our flat in Rotherhithe).

That's going to mess up traffic on the A12, probably all the way down to the Blackwall tunnel and up to the Green Man.
