1. An induction heating assembly for a vapour generating device, the heating assembly comprising:
an induction coil, radially inward of which a heating compartment is defined for receiving, in use, a body comprising a vaporisable substance and a susceptor; and
a temperature sensor located at an end of the heating compartment on a central longitudinal axis of the induction coil,
wherein the induction coil is arranged to heat, in use, the susceptor, and the temperature sensor is arranged to monitor, in use, a temperature related to heat generated from the susceptor, and
wherein the temperature sensor is positioned at an axial end of the induction coil or at any point removed from the axial end of the induction coil by up to a distance of a quarter of a length of the induction coil either towards an axial centre of the induction coil or away from the axial centre of the induction coil.
