A suspected "tornado" has destroyed a garage in north-west London.

Crews from the London Fire Brigade (LFB) were called to Grafton Road in Harrow at about 13:15 GMT after reports of weather damage.

Firefighters found a single-storey garage, attached to a house, had collapsed and there was minor damage to surrounding homes and cars.

Watch manager Mark Ritson said "the tornado whizzed through the area" blowing off roof tiles.

He said: "It was sunny but then the sky went black, there was thunder and lightning, hailstones and strong winds.

"By the time we turned up to the address it was blue sky and sunny again.

"The tornado whizzed through the area, some roof tiles were blown off and caused minor damage to properties and cars in nearby roads but fortunately nobody was injured."
