Investigations are continuing into the cause of a fire which broke out at a museum in south-east London yesterday.
A fire service spokesman said the whole of the roof of the museum and library was on fire.
Station Manager Peter Critchell, at the scene, said:
"Flames are coming through the roof and there is thick grey smoke billowing up. Firefighters are still working hard at the scene to try and bring the blaze under control. We now have water jets attacking the fire from the four corners of the building. We evacuated 30 people from inside the museum and firefighters will be making efforts to salvage as many of the artefacts as possible."
The unlicensed events unfolded on Saturday night at Clapham Common and Tooting Bec Common.
