Blaze at ex-BBC building tackled by 100 firefighters
The Independent
|September 07, 2025
About 22 residents were evacuated after a blaze at the old BBC Television Centre in London's White City. More than 100 firefighters battled a blaze in the former home of the BBC in London's White City.
The London Fire Brigade (LFB) said 15 fire engines were in attendance yesterday at the nine-storey building in Wood Lane.
The flames were affecting floors towards the top of the building, which includes a restaurant, an area of external decking and ducting, while an unknown number of flats were potentially affected. Crews were first called to the blaze overnight on Friday.
In a Saturday morning update, LFB said the restaurant, external decking and ducting remained alight. LFB and the Metropolitan Police evacuated nearby buildings as a precaution, with a rest centre set up for those who had to leave their homes.
