Footage shared online showed flames tearing through the roof of the five-storey building.

Firefighters were also seen using a large turntable ladder as a water tower to help tackle the flames from above.

Three people were treated by paramedics at the scene on Maysoule Road.

The London Ambulance Service (LAS) said it was called to the block, near the junction of Hope Street and Benham Close, shortly before 7.30pm.

A “significant amount of the building and the roof” of the flats were destroyed in the blaze, London Brigade (LFB) said.

The LFB took dozens of calls about the blaze, after being first alerted shortly after 7pm.

But the fire was brought under control at around 11pm last night.

Firefighters remained at the scene overnight dampening down the building.

The cause of the fire will be investigated by the Brigade’s Fire Investigation Team.
