Around 900 people have been evacuated from a health club in London due to a “chemical incident”. London Fire Brigade said a mix of chemicals at the site in Canary Wharf had caused “high levels of fumes and vapour” in the building.
In a statement, Station Commander Dave Hill, who is at the scene, said: “Crews have carried out a sweep of the building and found elevated readings. “Firefighters have ventilated the building and are monitoring the levels of fumes.
“We have evacuated around 900 people from the building as a precaution.” The brigade was called shortly after 9am to reports of a smell of chemicals and the incident is ongoing.
