Theme park goers have been evacuated as a massive fire broke out at Legoland Windsor on Sunday, 31 July.

The blaze started at around 3.35pm on the weekend, according to reports, with black smoke and flames visible at the hotel in the family resort.

All hotel guests were completely evacuated from the building yesterday evening, while firefighters investigated the cause of the blaze.

It is not clear whether the hotel remains closed today, 1 August. LADbible has contacted Legoland Windsor for clarification on the matter.

Previously, the children’s theme park stated that the fire was ‘small’ and ‘isolated to the front exterior of the hotel only’.

One social media user, who was present at the time of the fire, tweeted: "So came to @LEGOLANDWindsor for 2 nights, was waiting to check in and this happened.

"Everyone is safe, but was a slow response, waiting in backlot office, staff have no updates."

Meanwhile, a theme park goer who didn’t appear to stay in the hotel, also appeared to be disrupted by the incident.

They said: “Queued to get out of #Legoland while they evacuated & the fire engines arrived. It looked bad and I felt awful for the people barefoot and in swimsuits coming out.

“Hope the damage isn't too bad. My son's desperate to go and got quite upset watching as we were stuck outside it.”

A representative of Legoland previously told the Daily Star: "At 3.35pm today, there was a small fire outside the LEGOLAND hotel. The fire was isolated to the front exterior of the hotel only.


"Our well-rehearsed emergency procedures were immediately implemented and the emergency services were called and attended the site.

"The hotel was immediately evacuated and all guests and staff are safe and well,” they said.

Just last week, more than 100 firefighters and 15 fire engines responded to a blaze at a block of flats in east London.

Online footage showed smoke pouring from the top floor windows of the building, which is located on Manwood Street in North Woolwich.

The cause of the fire has not yet been announced to the public, but it comes as firefighters simultaneously worked to tackle a blaze involving around one hectare of grass opposite the block, which is close to London City Airport.

Commenting on the incident, a spokesperson for London Fire Brigade revealed the emergency service's 999 operators have taken 'more than 105 calls' about the blaze since it broke out on 20 July.

They said: “The brigade was called at 12:49. Fire crews from Shadwell, Dowgate, Dockhead, Shoreditch and surrounding fire stations are at the scene. The cause of the fire is now known at this time.”
