Firefighters are still hosing down an office block destroyed by fire - more than 24 hours after the first flames.
Fire took hold of the four-storey complex in Tabernacle Street, on the border between Shoreditch and the City of London, at 0400 GMT on Thursday.
More than 100 firefighters tackled the fire, which left parts of London's financial centre covered in smoke.
It was under control by 1120 GMT on Thursday, but firefighters were still damping down hot patches on Friday.
London Fire Commissioner Ron Dobson said: "This was a complicated fire spreading rapidly through different premises and onto a bitumen-covered roof, creating huge plumes of smoke across the city and presenting very difficult firefighting conditions.
"This incident yet again highlights the need for our fire safety work to prevent the fire risk and disruption these incidents have on our capital."
