Two men were rescued from the 15th floor of a building on Blackfriars Road in Southwark.
Firefighters were called to help two window cleaners, who had become trapped in a window cleaning cradle on the 15th floor of a building after it malfunctioned.
The Brigade was called at 1722 and fire crews from Dowgate and a 64m turntable ladder from Old Kent Road were sent to the scene. The incident was under control by 1815.
Crews used the 64m turntable ladder to reach the men and bring them down to the ground safely. The two men were assessed by the London Ambulance Service at the Scene.
A spokesperson for London Fire Brigade said: "Thankfully no-one was hurt and the men were rescued safely and quickly.
"This is a great example of how the Brigade uses its specialist equipment to meet the challenges of London's built environment. It is vital that we continue to have the right equipment to enable us to respond effectively and keep London's communities safe."
The 64m turntable ladder, which is the tallest aerial appliance in Europe, can reach heights of up to 20 floors and features an onboard lift that can be used for mass casualty rescue if the conditions are suitable.
The turntable ladders can also be used for getting water up to height and as an observation platform to provide valuable insight into how an incident is developing.
