People have been asked to evacuate Westfield shopping centre in east London following a fire at its multi-storey car park.
London Fire Brigade said it was called to the shopping centre on Montfichet Road, Stratford, just after 16:00 BST.
A spokesperson said the fire was “producing a significant amount of smoke” and asked people to avoid the area.
They added the shopping centre had been evacuated as a precaution.
The fire service added a number of vehicles were currently alight on an upper level of the car park.
About 70 firefighters from Stratford, Poplar, Leystonstone and surrounding fire stations, as well as ten fire engines are at the scene.
A 32-metre (105ft) turntable ladder is being used to help extinguish the fire.

Another wrote they had heard explosions.
