A huge fire broke out in a block of flats in Thornton Heath on Monday afternoon.
60 firefighters attended the blaze along with 12 fire engines after the fire tore through the rooftop storage area of flats in Jubilee Court, London Road.
Nearby roads were closed for several hours and traffic had to be diverted away from the incident causing major traffic disruption.
Dozens of people were unable to enter their homes during the fire and the British Red Cross set up a refuge centre as a temporary shelter until residents were able to re enter their homes.
An investigation into the cause of the fire will be carried out.
