Camden Lock market fire: large blaze brought under control
Firefighters have brought a large blaze at Camden Lock Market in north London under control.
The London fire brigade said on Monday morning that 10 fire engines had been dispatched to reports of a fire at the popular tourist spot after midnight.
The brigade asked people to avoid the area and said the cause of the fire was not yet known. By 3.20am the brigade said the blaze was under control.
Footage posted on social media showed firefighters dousing a significant fire. The blaze appears to have started in a guitar shop near the market.

I spent a good part of my twenties galavanting round Camden Lock on days out.
It's changed round there over time, which is actually fairly necessary given how much of what used to be brought & sold there is now online but it's still somewhere worth a visit.
And there's a 2nd hand book shop right by this incident that I liked to visit as well!
