July 10, 2017 07:54

Seventy firefighters and ten fire engines are tackling a huge blaze at London's famous Camden Lock Market.

London Fire Brigade were called just before midnight after concerned onlookers noticed the iconic indoor site go up in flames.

The huge fire has torn through the first and second floor up to the roof.

The fire service said it is too early to say where the fire started or whether anyone has been injured.

However, witnesses say they believe the fire started at Gilgamesh - an upmarket Indian restaurant based inside the huge market hall, home to 1,000 businesses.

Part of Camden High Street has been blocked off while crews battled to get the fire under control with members of the public are urged to stay clear of the area.

The police also confirmed it was too early to say whether or not anyone has been injured.
