Cllr Anthony Okereke, Leader of the Royal Borough of Greenwich, said:
"A fire on Edge Hill in the early hours of the morning on Thursday 15 July was swiftly bought under control by the London Fire Brigade. Our priority has been the safety and welfare of those affected, including those who needed hospital attention.
Several properties have been badly damaged. We have offered emergency accommodation to those in need of it and who are unable to return home. Our immediate thoughts are with these residents and the ones recovering from the effects of the smoke. We are continuing to work with them to get them back into their homes as soon as possible and support them in anyway we can.
We are deeply grateful to the emergency services and will be working closely with the police with its ongoing investigation."
