Homes have been evacuated as the Army works to defuse an unexploded World War II bomb discovered near Wembley Stadium.
The 50kg explosive, which is believed to have been dropped over London during Nazi bombing raids in the the early 1940s, was discovered by builders working near the stadium.
The British Army has warned of a "genuine risk to life" as homes and businesses, reportedly including the studio in which the ITV show Britain's Got Talent is filmed, were evacuated outside a 400-metre police cordon.
This bomb is a live munition in a potentially dangerous condition so it's important that people listen to the police and evacuate their homes if asked.
We will do all we can to minimise the disruption but ask the public to bear with us - any bomb, even under a controlled explosion, could cause significant damage to property and there is a genuine risk to life.
– British Army spokesman
