Mitcham wedding reception stopped by warehouse fire
A wedding reception was cancelled and the venue evacuated after a fire broke out at a warehouse next door.
About 70 firefighters tackled the blaze which took hold of the entire building in Mitcham, south-west London.
London Fire Brigade said it was alerted to the fire in Bond Street just after 13:00 and it was under control by 15:30 BST. The cause is not yet known.
Party guest Sadiq Rahman said the fire was at a timber yard and it was "absolutely bellowing".
Mr Rahman said the event had been just about to start with 500 guests when they were asked to leave.
He said: "We're all waiting to go back, in total there are about 500 people outside.
"Some of us ended up ordering pizzas.
"We're going to visit them [bride and groom] later on and hopefully they're not too upset."
Mr Rahman estimated the flames were about 40-50m high.
