A fierce fire broke out at a house in west London’s Holland Park, killing a man and prompting evacuation of several residents, the fire brigade said early on Wednesday.
Around 12 fire engines and 80 firefighters and officers were engaged to douse the flames in a flat in Holland Park Gardens, reports Reuters citing the fire brigade.
The fire damaged some flats and about eight neighbouring properties were evacuated.
However, the cause of the fire was under investigation.
