About 100 firefighters are battling a house fire in west London.
The London Fire Brigade said 15 fire engines were at an address on Oxford Gardens in Notting Hill.
The incident was first reported shortly before 3am on Saturday.
Part of the first floor and the roof of a detached house converted into flats were damaged by fire, alongside half of the second floor and a mezzanine. There were no reports of any injuries.
Crews from Wembley, Acton, Hammersmith, Kensington, Paddington and surrounding fire stations are in attendance.
Station Commander Duncan Rees, who was at the scene, said: “Crews worked hard to bring the fire under control in the early hours of this morning.
“One of the Brigade’s 32-metre turntable ladders was used as a water tower to tackle the flames from above.
“We asked the public to avoid the area where possible as we worked to bring the incident safely under control.”
An investigation into how the fire started is now underway.
