A takeaway shop in Stratford High Street has been destroyed by fire.
London Fire Brigade (LFB) crews were called to the mid-terraced, single-storey fast food shop at 9.21pm yesterday (May 9) by passers-by who saw smoke coming from the building.
Brigade investigators believe the fire was accidental and involved a deep fat fryer.
LFB says the shop was “destroyed” by the blaze and most of the extraction system from the ground floor to the roof was damaged.
No one was reported to be injured in the incident.

Fred Winter (44594450)
FRED Winter, the former managing director of the Stratford family-run department store, has died aged 86.
A father, grandfather and great-grandfather, Mr Winter fell ill around Christmas time with a form of dementia and died on Saturday 20th February.
It was Mr Winterâs great-grandfather Frederick who created the Fred Winter store, originally situated in Stratford High Street, in 1858.
Educated at Bloxham School, Mr Winter â who was born in Loxley in May 1934 â joined the family business after three years in the RAF and some apprenticeships, including one at the David Morgan department store in Cardiff.
Another milestone is the launch of a consultation to give the school community a chance to review plans and give their views on how the school is taking shape.
The 420-pupil school will be operated by the Big Education Trust which operates School 21, an all-through school in Pitchford Street currently rated Outstanding by Ofsted.
Planning permission was granted for the new school to be constructed as part of the next phase of the 1,200-home development at Sugar House Island.
Peter Hyman, co-director of Big Education, said: “What makes this consultation important is that it marks the fact we are now in the pre-opening phase of the school.
