About 120 firefighters are tackling a fire on the roof of the Mandarin Oriental Hotel, which adjoins the luxury One Hyde Park apartment project in Knightsbridge.
Twenty fire engines are being used to fight the blaze, London Fire Brigade said on Twitter. Unverified images and videos carried on social media show a tall plume of smoke rising from the property. The hotel is currently being renovated as part of an upgrade that was due to complete in the third quarter of this year, according to a filing.
