More than 100 firefighters tackled a blaze at an industrial park in West London.

Fifteen fire engines rushed to Coronation Road in Park Royal, Brent to try and stop the inferno in the early hours of Friday.

The London Fire Brigade was called to Sergo Park at around 3.45am following reports of a fire at a Lebanese restaurant and an MOT centre.

Firefighters from Park Royal, Acton, Willesden, Wembley and surrounding fire stations were mobilised to the scene.

The force deployed a hose layer and high volume pump to tackle the fire, increasing the amount of water available to extinguish it.
