This is the best summary I could come up with:
An electric double-decker bus caught fire during the morning rush hour in south-west London.
No injuries have been reported but a critical incident was declared, police said.
Max Pashley, a local resident, told City A.M.: "We heard a huge bang.
Road closures and cordons are in place and are expected to be for some time.
A Met Police spokesperson said: "We thank the local community for their patience and co-operation as emergency services work at the scene."
BBC News has contacted Transport for London (TfL) for comment.
