The fire broke out in the early hours of Monday morning.
More than 70 firefighters and ten fire engines in London tackled a major fire at London’s Camden Market in the early hours of Monday morning.
According to the Telegraph, the blaze spread quickly throughout the market but was under control at around 3am but the fire service reported that it would continue to damp down the market until Monday morning in case of any re-ignition.
The fire service asked people to stay away from the market and also stated that the fire had set the first, second and third floor alight as well as the roof.
