Скачать или смотреть White City fire: 100 firefighters battle flames as huge blaze rips through former BBC HQ

Dozens of firefighters are battling a blaze at the old BBC Television Centre in London’s White City.

The London Fire Brigade (LFB) said about 100 firefighters and 15 fire engines had been called to the nine-storey building on Wood Lane.

Photos from the scene show crews at the Helios Building at the BBC’s former headquarters, which has since been converted into flats and a restaurant.

Smoke was still billowing from the rooftop rotunda late on Saturday morning as firefighters used a drone to help tackle the blaze and crowds gathered on the street to watch and take photos.
