More than 130 people have been evacuated from a tower block in North-West London after a fire started.
Flames took hold of the 22-storey building in Swiss Cottage at approximatly 10:00PM on Monday.
The 17th floor was partially gutted and 130 people were evacuated to a local community centre.
It took firefighters more than three hours to bring the fire under control, Station Manager Rod Horton, who was at the scene, said: "This was a big block of flats and at that time of night a lot of people were inside the building. Crews worked extremely hard to get the fire under control and to confine the fire to the seventeenth floor. Thankfully no-one was injured"
