A huge blaze has broken out between London Bridge and Waterloo East stations.
Fire crews are currently at the scene working to contain the flames while the sky has been filled with black smoke. Around 70 firefighters were scrambled to the fire, which broke out at a commercial property under the railway arches in Union Street, Southwark.
Dramatic footage shared online shows thick pockets of smoke pouring out of a building, with alarms going off in the background. One train passenger said her carriage was being evacuated after the flames spread onto the tracks and smoke entered the train, the Mirror reports.
The passenger, whose carriage stopped near the fire, tweeted: "Coming out of London Bridge and a fire spread onto the tracks. The smoke is now coming up the train and we have to be evacuated."
However, she later added: "The train had finally reversed back down to London Bridge to let us off! There will be any trains going past London Bridge!!! All trains to Charing Cross and Waterloo cancelled."
London Fire Brigade said the blaze broke out at about 9.29am this morning.
A spokesman said: "Ten fire engines and around 70 firefighters are tackling a fire under the railway arches on Union Street in Southwark."
Station Commander Wayne Johnson, who is at the scene, said: "The blaze is producing heavy smoke and those living or working in the local area are advised to keep their windows and doors closed. Trains to and from London Bridge are affected and several buildings have been evacuated."
The brigade's control room has received more than 33 calls about the blaze. Fire chiefs have urged Brits to avoid the scene and keep their windows and doors closed if they live nearby.
