An occupant had managed to escape the fire on the second floor before firefighters arrived.

The man was taken to hospital by paramedics.

Crews found around half of the four-roomed flat damaged by the blaze and spent more than half an hour bringing it under control.

London Fire Brigade said the cause of the fire is under investigation.
