A pedicab has exploded in flames outside of Buckingham Palace.
Videos and images doing the rounds on social media show one of the little rickshaws - which are typically popular with tourists visiting the capital - totally engulfed in flames and billowing black smoke.
The Metropolitan Police said they were called to Spur Road in south-west London at 12:43pm today (30 March).

Right outside of Buckingham Palace, another spot very popular with tourists and visitors, a road closure is now in place while the London Fire Brigade responds.
Videos online show police stopping traffic and keeping people out the way as clouds of smoke plume from the pedicab.
The Met Police told LADbible that no injuries were reported.

It also added: “The fire is not believed to be suspicious or deliberate.”
The cause of the pedicab fire is not yet known.
The London Fire Brigade told LADbible: "Crews were called to an electric rickshaw which was alight and destroyed by the fire.

"We sent one fire engine from Lambeth Fire Station at 12.44pm and the incident was over at 13.02pm. There were no injuries reported."
Pedicabs are often used in London by visitors who want to go sight-seeing or simply just to travel to different parts of the city with music blasting out.
And with today’s warmer weather, there are plenty of people out and about making the most of the bank holiday sun in London while kids enjoy some time off school.
But it looks like there will be one less pedicab out on the capital’s streets as charred and melted remains of this one have been left behind.
