A large pillar of black smoke could be seen from kilometres away as fire broke out at an east London vehicle lot on Monday morning.

A fire has erupted near a Tube station in west London. A picture posted to social media shows plumes of thick black smoke billowing into the air near Hounslow East London Ungerground station, which is on the Piccadilly line.

A fire at a London substation was sparked by the power outage that plunged the capital into travel chaos, just two weeks after the same site was engulfed in a massive blaze.

A new fire commissioner for London has been proposed by the city's mayor, Sir Sadiq Khan. The appointment of Jonathan Smith, currently the deputy commissioner, will now be subject to a confirmation hearing by London Assembly's fire committee. Mr Smith is expected to take up the post at the end of June, taking over from Andy Roe.
