The Met Police said in a statement: “At 12:43 on Saturday, 30 March police were informed of a pedicab on fire on Spur Road, SW1.
“A road closure is in place while London Fire Brigade respond.
“No injuries were reported. The fire is not believed to be suspicious or deliberate.”
It comes as the Royal Family make their final preparations ahead of Easter Sunday.
King Charles is expected to make his first public appearance since being diagnosed with cancer.
“Robust” Charles will lead a trimmed-down list of royals at the “sacred” Easter Sunday church service at Windsor Castle.
Buckingham Palace confirmed the King and Queen will attend the Easter Sunday service.
Charles and Camilla will be joined at the service by other senior royals.
But the Prince and Princess of Wales and their three children will miss the event as Kate, 42, is undergoing preventative chemotherapy.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle will not be in attendance as they continue to live in California since stepping down as senior royals in 2020.
