The area, around Basing Street, near Notting Hill, has been cordoned off, and the area has been evacuated.
One eyewitness says a man dressed in a white forsenic overall has been taken away in an unmarked police car.

I read that it was 'small' explosions during a raid, which seemed to indicate 'controlled explosions' to me.

Scotland Yard say they are not aware of firearms having been used
Armed police investigating the 21 July attempted bombings have made a number of arrests and surrounded flats in west London in "significant" operations.
At least two properties are believed to have been raided, in Notting Hill and North Kensington, and residents moved.
Eyewitnesses say they heard three shots and a large explosion as officers wearing gas masks entered one property.
Police seeking three men over the failed bomb attacks have also made two arrests at Liverpool Street station.
The properties raided are in Dalgarno Gardens, North Kensington and the Tavistock Road area of Notting Hill, less than a mile away.
In Dalgarno Gardens officers are continually shouting at someone in a flat to come out. They are addressing him as "Muhammad".
