More than 100 firefighters battled a warehouse fire in west London, finally bringing the blaze under control just before midnight.
London Fire Brigade was still on the scene 'damping down' the remains of the fire on Sunday morning.
There were no reports of injuries but about 30 people had to leave the two-storey building, which contains a number of industrial units, in Wadsworth Road, Perivale.
Firefighters used aerial ladder platforms to tackle the blaze, which gutted the building.
Plumes of thick black smoke were seen over the capital.
Jeff Lisle, a London Fire Brigade station manager, said: "Crews worked very hard in extremely difficult conditions to bring this fire under control.
"Although not in a residential area the smoke from the fire was travelling quite a distance so we advised locals to keep windows and doors shut as a precaution."
A number of people on social media spotted the smoke close to Wembley stadium, where rock band ACDC were performing.
