A BUILDING was destroyed and 20 people were evacuated from their homes after a fire.
The blaze broke out at the print works in Francis Road, Leyton, just before 12.23am, and also partly destroyed a second building.
As the premises contains gas cylinders which can explode in a fire, people were told to get out of their homes as a precaution.
There were no injuries and the London Fire Brigade had put the flames out by 4.15am.
The cause of the fire is under investigation.
