An unexploded Second World War bomb has caused travel chaos as the London Overground service is partly suspended.

There is no service on large sections of the line while a bomb disposal squad handle the explosive, which was found in Brondesbury Park yesterday afternoon.

There is no service between Willesden Junction and Camden Road and reduced service between Stratford and Camden Road.

There is also a reduced service between Richmond and Willesden Junction and Clapham Junction and Willesden Junction.

All homes within a 200m radius and a nearby nursery school were evacuated after police and fire crews were called to the scene.

The site will not be made safe until at least this afternoon, Brent Council warned.

  • There are also severe delays on the Central Line westbound service and minor delays to the eastbound service, due to an earlier signal failure at North Acton.
