Around 100 firefighters and 15 fire engines are battling a blaze at the BBC's former headquarters, the Television Centre in west London.

The London Fire Brigade (LFB) said fire crews are in attendance at the nine-storey building on Wood Lane, White City, after being called to the scene shortly after 3am on Friday.

The fire is affecting floors towards the top of the building, which include a restaurant and an area of external decking and ducting, television studios, and an unknown number of flats which have also potentially been affected.

LFB and the Metropolitan Police have evacuated nearby buildings as a precaution with a rest centre being set up for those who had to leave their homes.

According to footage from the scene shared by LFB, the fire appears to be affecting the Helios Building at Television Centre, the former home of the BBC.
