It has been reported that a huge fire broke out at an industrial estate in North London, which could be seen across the capital.

Worker Shady Moustafa told The Evening Standard that “11 cars belonging to nearby workers were completely burnt out”. The fire brigade later confirmed a further 14 vehicles were damaged.

A brigade spokesman said: “There was a lot of thick black smoke in the local area so in the early stages we asked local residents to close their doors and windows. About 25 people were evacuated and thankfully there were no injuries”.
