But several animals including tropical fish, parrots, cats, rabbits and guinea pigs died. A number of flats above the shop had to be evacuated, with 18 people forced to leave their homes.
A London Fire Brigade spokesman said the exact number of the animals killed is not known as the owners have not been able to get into the shop.
Station manager Matthew Burrows, who was at the scene, said: "Firefighters did very well in this challenging fire and managed to save the lives of lots of animals.
