Witness Joan Ribes (24 years old) said: "Police have blocked off nearby roads because the situation is extremely dangerous. The fire spread very quickly. But what we fear most is that the building could explode at any time because there are many restaurants inside."

Camden Lock Market is home to more than 1,000 shops and is a popular tourist destination. The fire comes less than a month after the devastating fire at Grenfell Tower in North Kensington, which killed at least 80 people./.
