Six fire engines and around 40 firefighters dealt with flooding in the area near Holland Park Roundabout.
Around 25 people were displaced due to flood water entering properties and have been re-located to a nearby rest centre. There were no reports of any injuries.
Station Commander Kris Seymour, who was at the scene, said: “A burst 30-inch water main caused flooding up to 1-metre deep, affecting more than 50 homes and a hotel over a one-mile area.
“Firefighters used specialist equipment, including an inflatable rescue boat to evacuate affected residents and flood barriers to divert flood water, which has now subsided. We encourage people to avoid the area as road closures will likely be in place throughout the morning.”
The Brigade’s Control Officers took 11 calls to the incident and sent crews from Hammersmith, Kensington, North Kensington, Fulham and surrounding fire stations to the scene. The incident was over for firefighters by 0523.
