Two major London Underground lines have been suspended this morning after reports of a fire at a west London tube station.

Transport for London (TfL), which runs the city’s tube and bus network, has said the Circle line is entirely suspended while Embankment to Earl’s Court on the District line is part suspended, with the rest of the line facing severe delays.

A statement on the TfL website said: ‘District Line: No service between Embankment and Earls Court while we respond to a fire alert at South Kensington. Tickets will be accepted on London Buses via any reasonable route. SEVERE DELAYS on the rest of the line.’

There are also severe delays across the entire Hammersmith and City line, with a part suspension in place between Barking and Liverpool Street.

TfL said South Kensington station is also closed as they respond to the fire alert, adding that tickets are being accepted on London buses.
