Emergency services are currently at the scene of a fire at a popular Twickenham restaurant.

York Street, in Twickenham, was closed this afternoon due to a fire at Locanda Luna Ristorante.

The Fire Brigade was called at 12:17PM and the fire was bought under control by 2:22pm.

Four fire engines and around 25 firefighters tackled the fire with crews from Twickenham, Richmond, Heston and Hayes fire stations have been in attendance.

The cause of the fire is unknown at this time.

A representative from the London Fire Brigade said: "Part of Internal ducting running through a building, made up of a restaurant and flats, was damaged by fire. Part of a roof was also damaged. There were no reports of any injuries."

Station Commander Stephen McGhie, who has been at the scene, said: "Crews worked extremely hard and quickly to work to extinguish the fire and prevent fire spread to neighbouring properties. 

"Road closures were in place in York Street to allow firefighters to work safely but these closures have now been lifted. However, crews will remain at the scene this afternoon dampening down."

A local business owner told Nub News she noticed smoke coming from the nearby building and alerted the restaurant before the fire brigade was called.
