Investigators are working to uncover the explanation for an enormous fire that tore through a derelict Methodist church in west London on Sunday night.
Around 70 firefighters were called in to tackle the blaze at King’s Hall Methodist Church in Southall after being alerted by members of the general public at around 9:30pm.
“At the peak of the hearth, a lot of the ground floor, second floor and roof were alight,” London Fire Brigade said in an announcement.
The flames were brought under control by 12.30am.
The fire has left the historic Grade II listed church severely damaged.
No injuries have been reported and the explanation for the hearth has not yet been established.
Road closures along South Road between Park Road and High Street remained in place on Monday morning as investigations proceed.
The church was designed by architect Sir Alfred Gelder and accomplished in 1916 before closing in 2013. It had been vacant for a very long time before Sunday night’s fire.
