Summary
All rail lines at London Bridge were closed after a recycling-centre fire broke out in Bermondsey, with disruption to Southeastern and Thameslink services expected until 22:30.
About 100 firefighters, 15 engines and turntable ladders were deployed to Landmann Way after crews were called just after 17:30 BST, as smoke rose above south London.
Southeastern said some trains were delayed, diverted or at a standstill, and Network Rail warned passengers to use alternative routes and expect longer journeys.
Residents nearby were told to keep windows and doors shut while emergency crews worked to contain the blaze on property near the railway.
