    A huge fire has broken out at an electrical substation in west London.

    Around 100 firefighters were tackling the blaze on Aberdeen Place in Maida Vale, where an electrical transformer was alight.

    The roof of a neighbouring residential building was also alight, the London Fire Brigade said. Around 80 people have been evacuated from their homes.

    Pictures from the surrounding areas show thick black smoke bellowing across the city’s skyline.

    The fire bridge received more than 170 calls about the blaze from around 5.30am on Tuesday. Fifteen fire engines attended the scene.

    “This is a very visible fire, which is producing lots of smoke,” said station commander Paul Morgan.

    “Residents are advised to keep their windows and doors shut and avoid the area where possible.”

    Fire crews from Paddington, Euston and other stations were fighting the fire.

    It is not known what has caused the blaze.

    It comes a month after Heathrow was shut down following a fire at a nearby electrical substation.
