“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.”
The London Fire Brigade said it was first called at 2.52am, with firefighters from Wembley, Acton, Hammersmith, Kensington, Paddington and nearby stations attending.
The fire was under control by 6.12am. The cause of the blaze is under investigation.
