I saw a fire on waterloo road. Must have seen at least 7 fire engines get to the scene very quickly. @LondonFire pic.twitter.com/91nnA7z2R1

Guests at the adjacent Travelodge London Waterloo hotel were also evacuated and had to line up in nearby Webber Street and Valentine Place for a roll-call.
After the hotel reopened it made its foyer available for displaced residents.
The fire brigade gave the all-clear for Mawdley House residents to return to their homes as the fire had been contained in a single flat.
