A blaze at an industrial laundrette and warehouse near West Ham's Romford training ground has been brought under control.

The London Fire Brigade said it was called at 23:59 BST to the fire on Selinas Lane, Dagenham, which is just across Chadwell Heath from the Hammers' facility.

The brigade added that half of the two-storey building was alight as more than 100 firefighters and 15 fire engines from Barking, Dagenham, Ilford, Romford and surrounding stations brought the fire under control about 02:30.

Station commander Paul Eastland said: ""The fire appears to have started on the ground floor of a laundrette and crews swiftly gained access and worked to bring the fire under control. "Crews removed gas cylinders as a precaution, as some cylinders can explode when exposed to heat. "Road closures are in place whilst firefighters make the scene safe."

The cause of the fire is under investigation.
