Part of a four-storey building has collapsed just 100 yards from New Scotland Yard in central London.
The emergency services were called to Dean Farrar Street in Westminster at about 1600 BST on Tuesday.
A BBC reporter at the scene said the whole top floor of the building had been blown away and eyewitnesses say they heard an explosion.
Two urban search and rescue vehicles have been sent to the scene to search for possible casualties.
London Ambulance said there were reports of one casualty at the building which was said to be undergoing renovation.
Eyewitness Barshan Ganwari said he heard a "huge noise" or "a blast" and saw "people running away" from the scene.

OK, you guys who like to blame everything on terrorists, here you go. Never mind that the building was undergoing renovation, speculate away.

It’s a little known fact that Al-Qaeda runs a renovation business on the side in many western cities...

I thought we always blamed this type of thing on a gas explosion. Please resubmit memo. ;-)

Obviously, the terrorists were installing wall paper with acetylene torches. Silly terrorists!

Just having a little fun, buddy. All are welcome.
Maybe it was illegal space aliens from Afghanistan?
To: proxy_user
Terrorists stole the page labeled "build temporary support for building" right before the "remove support pillars" page in the renovation plan.
