The whole of a balcony and a small part of a third-floor flat was destroyed by fire.

The Brigade’s 999 Control Centre received 17 calls alerting them to the fire.

A London Fire Brigade spokesperson said: “Firefighters recommend that you have a look at our online Home Fire Safety Checker to make sure there are no hidden hazards in your home.

“The online tool will ask you a series of questions that will help us work out the level of risk in your home, or the home of someone you care for. It only takes a few minutes to get tailored advice to keep yourself and loved ones safe from fire.”
