Flames ripped through the semi-detached house in Sonia Gardens, Neasden, just before 01:00 BST - six fire engines and 30 firefighters tackled the blaze.
Two people have been taken to hospital - a 16-year-old girl, who is in a critical condition, and a man who suffered serious burns.

LFB station manager Glen Gorman, who has been at the scene, said: "There's no doubt this is an absolute tragedy.
"My thoughts, and those of my colleagues at the London Fire Brigade, are with the friends, family and loved ones of those affected at this extremely sad and difficult time.
"We are now working with the police to ensure a full and thorough investigation is carried out."
