20 firefighters attended a fire at a mobile phone shop in Tooting High on Saturday evening.
The fire, thought to have started in rubbish stored behind the shop, quickly spread to the outside storage area and into the ceiling cavities of the office.
Firefighters tackled the fire for about 4 hours.
Michael Renfold from Tooting Fire Station said: “A large plume of smoke was clearly visible from Tooting High Street, it was quite a fire to start with. But what made it difficult to contain was it had got into the ceiling voids”
An investigation into the cause of the fire will now be carried out.
