Eight fire engines and about 60 firefighters were called to the blaze at a shop in Montifichet Road, Stratford, earlier today (October 17).
A London Fire Brigade spokesperson said: "Firefighters tackled a small fire within a shop on the first floor of a shopping centre.
"The shopping centre was evacuated and no injuries were reported."
The brigade was called at 10.03am and the flames were brought under control by 11.44am.
