A fire at a Beckenham building on Sept. 30, 2025, caused major disruptions but no injuries.
A major fire broke out at a mixed-use building on Beckenham High Street near the Odeon cinema on September 30, 2025, around 7:59 a.m., prompting 18 emergency calls and a response from 70 firefighters and ten fire engines.
The blaze, which affected the first and second floors and half the roof of a structure under refurbishment, produced thick black smoke visible for miles and caused significant traffic disruptions with road closures.
A 32-meter turntable ladder was deployed to combat the flames, and no injuries were reported.
Authorities advised nearby residents to keep windows and doors closed due to hazardous fumes, a warning later lifted.
The fire remains under investigation, with crews working to fully extinguish hotspots and prevent spread to adjacent buildings.
The cause is unknown.
