Fire at Unilever building
Firefighters have tackled a blaze at Unilever's London headquarters.

Smoke and flames were seen coming from the top of the office building in New Bridge Street, north of Blackfriars Bridge, at about 1755 BST on Tuesday.

It is believed the fire spread to the sixth floor.

The building was evacuated and no-one is thought to have been hurt.

Four fire engines were sent to the scene and surrounding roads were closed.

Unilever own some of the UK's most famous brands, including Dove soap, Magnum ice creams and Knorr soup.
