A London Fire Brigade spokesperson said: "Firefighters are tackling a large warehouse blaze which is producing thick black smoke and we'd ask anyone in the local area or driving past to keep their windows closed.
"The Brigade was called at 1822. Firefighters from Bexley and surrounding London fire stations are at the scene.
"Neighbouring fire services are also assisting the Brigade. The cause of the fire is not known at this stage."
