Social media videos show the top of Bow House Business Centre, located on Fairfield Road in Bow, east of the city, engulfed in flames.
On social media, some people claimed that the residential apartments above the business facility were where the fire started, however the London Fire Brigade has not yet disclosed this information.
Shocked commuters on the Elizabeth Line passing through Stratford shared video of the massive black smoke clouds covering the capital’s skyline.
Some people sent pictures of the tragedy from London Bridge on the other side of the capital, where they could see the burning building’s smoke for miles.
According to the London Fire Brigade, there were 15 fire engines and about 100 firemen present.
According to reports, the six floor building’s roof is mostly on fire.

A police barrier and numerous blue light ambulances could be seen in front of the burning buildings in TikTok footage of the blaze.
