One hundred children have been evacuated because of a blaze at an infant school in Belvedere, which is currently being fought by fire crews.
London Fire Brigade (LFB) sent four engines and 21 firefighters from Erith, Plumstead and Bexley to fight the flames at Bedonwell Infant School and Nursery.
The blaze broke out at 8.50am in the cloakroom of the single-storey buiding, which caters for kids up to the age of seven, in Bedonwell Road.
An LFB spokesman said: "100 children had been evacuated to a neighbouring school when the fire alarm went off, before the brigade arrived.
"We are now at the stage where we are dampening down the fire. We are still on the scene."
Crews left the scene at 11.25am.

The cause of the fire is now under investigation.
