Heathrow Airport will be closed throughout Friday after a fire at an electrical substation halted all flights, with local residents also evacuated from their homes and schools shut.
Almost 5,000 homes remain without power after two explosions and a fire at the substation in Hayes, west London. Some 150 people have been evacuated from nearby properties.
Emergency services were first called to the scene at 23:23 GMT, and video shared on social media showed tall flames and smoke billowing from the substation overnight.
The airport, which is the UK's busiest, has warned of "significant disruption" over the coming days and told passengers not to travel "under any circumstances" until it reopens.
London Fire Brigade (LFB) said the fire was under control by 06:30, with a transformer having previously been alight. The cause of the blaze is not yet known.
National Grid said on X it restored power to 62,000 customers at 06:00, and 4,900 homes remain without power.
Ten fire engines and about 70 firefighters were sent to tackle the blaze, LFB said. No-one was injured the fire.
