        When you first tweeted it looked horrendous but that people could evacuate. OMG it has consumed the bldg so fast it's a nightmare.

        The block of flats was just refurbished. Again let's hope people were not in residence at the time. What type of material burns so rapidly?

        Seems the plastic cladding spread the fire, worrying as so many old tower blocks have the same renovation, like in #swisscottage for example

        If you're close by to Latimer Road, take a coat or blanket to people affected by fire. They'll most likely be in PJ's and getting cold.

        If anyone is affected and needs a space to stay the night, message me. We're a few minutes away and have spare beds.

        It's the least I can do! Watching it all go down has been horrific and I can't even imagine what people are going through.
