A huge fire has ripped through a building in central London<\/a> filling the area with smoke. <\/p>\n

Smoke can be seen across London’s skyline after the London Fire Brigade were called to a blaze at mixed-use building near Tottenham<\/a> Street in Fitzrovia this morning. <\/p>\n

The LFB said six fire engines and 40 firefighters were in attendance, and urged people to avoid the area. <\/p>\n

One local resident named William, who lives on an adjacent street, told Metro<\/strong>: ‘We woke up to the smell of fire and smoke in our house.<\/p>\n

‘At first, the street was filled with a thick yellow haze. When we went outside, we saw a building\u2014possibly a nail shop\u2014on fire.<\/p>\n

‘Even as I was leaving for work, the area was still covered in heavy smoke, and fire brigades were actively working to contain it.’<\/p>\n

One witness @weberolivier wrote on X: ‘It absolutely stinks here in Oxford Circus. The air is hazy with smoke.’ <\/p>\n

Hannah, who works on the street, told Metro<\/strong> there is still a heavy emergency services presence in the area. <\/p>\n

She said: ‘There were still remains of smoke when I came into work later this morning. <\/p>\n

‘But there were still lots of fire engines and other emergency service vehicles about.’ <\/p>\n
