Dozens of firefighters are tackling a huge blaze at a property near a synagogue in north-west London.
Fifteen fire engines and around 100 firefighters were called to tackle the inferno in Cazenove Road, Stamford Hill, at 4.14pm on Thursday.
Volunteers from Shomrim, the Jewish neighbourhood watch organisation, said that the fire was next to a place of worship and that they were supporting officers from Hackney police.
Members of the public have been urged to avoid the area as firefighters work to bring the blaze under control.
The cause of the fire is currently unknown.
The London Fire Brigade said they received 40 calls to report the incident and mobilised crews from Stoke Newington, Islington, Walthamstow and surrounding fire stations to the scene.
