A pizza oven caused fire to rip through flats above a shop in Muswell Hill last night.

Six fire engines and around 35 firefighters from six fire stations across London spent more than two hours tackling the blaze after being called at 11pm.

Witnesses posted dramatic pictures on Twitter.

 

 

The entire ground, first and second floor of the building, on Muswell Hill Broadway, was damaged by fire, as was most of the roof.

It is believed the fire started when logs stored on top of a pizza oven caught fire.

There were no reports of any injuries.

Gail Engert, Liberal Democrat councillor for Muswell Hill, said: "It is a great shame that such a lovely building has been damaged right at the heart of Muswell Hill. I hope it can be repaired quickly.

She added: "Hopefully M&S will be able to re-open quickly."

Marks & Spencers was reportedly closed this morning.
