A 16-year-old boy has been arrested on suspicion of arson after a fire at a prestigious Catholic school in west London, the Metropolitan police said. Ten fire engines and about 70 firefighters were called to the London Oratory School on Seagrave Road in Fulham at 10am on Wednesday. The fire was brought under control and no injuries have been reported, the London fire brigade said. The Met said the teenager was arrested at about 11.15am and remained in custody. A nearby shopping centre and some residential addresses were evacuated as a precaution. Residents have been urged to keep their windows closed. The school, which admits boys aged seven to 18 and girls aged 16 to 18, is a short distance from the Chelsea football club stadium, Stamford Bridge. Alumni include the actor Simon Callow, the trade unionist Mick Whelan as well as the children of the former prime minister Sir Tony Blair. A spokesperson for the London ambulance service, which attended the scene, said: “We sent a number of resources to the scene, including ambulance crews, an incident response officer, a medic in a fast response car and members of our hazardous area response team (Hart). Our first medics arrived at the scene in less than three minutes. We did not treat any patients at the scene.” The Chelsea and Fulham MP, Greg Hands, said he was concerned by the incident, and was in touch with the police. Posting on X, he added: “Lots of helicopter noise overhead this part of Fulham too.”
