A huge fire has engulfed a large block of flats in London, with many people thought to be trapped in their homes.
Hundreds of firefighters were sent to 27-storey Grenfell Tower in north Kensington, as large plumes of smoke billowed above the capital after the blaze broke out in the early hours of Wednesday morning.
Witnesses spoke of "terrifying" scenes, with some residents suggesting they heard no alarm go off when the fire began. At least 30 people have been taken to five hospitals.
