One person was taken to hospital with hand burns after the fire.

The inferno is around a mile from Tottenham Hotspur's White Hart Lane ground.

London Fire Brigade confirmed they were attending after being called about 8.15pm, with 15 fire engines at the scene.

Station Manager, Sam Kazmanli is at the scene, and said: "This is a large fire, cylinders are involved so a hazard zone has been set as cylinders can explode when exposed to heat.

"There is a lot of smoke in the air. As a precaution, local residents are advised to keep their windows and doors closed.

"Crews will be working hard through the night to bring this blaze under control.”
