More than 70 firefighters are tackling a huge blaze at a mosque in South London.
Most of Baitul Futuh - said to be the largest mosque in Western Europe - is on fire, according to the fire service.
London Fire Brigade sent eight fire engines to the scene in Morden just after midday.
The blaze is affecting the ground and first floor. Huge pillars of black smoke can be seen from some distance.
London Ambulance Service is on the scene and has taken one person, a man in his 40s, to hospital after he suffered smoke inhalation.
Farooq Aftab, a spokesman for the Ahmadiyya Muslim community which built the mosque, said it has been safely evacuated.
