Seventy firefighters and 10 fire engines were sent to the site, which is a popular tourist attraction, London Fire Brigade (LFB) said. A fire officer at the scene said the fire began in a building containing a number of businesses.

It affected a small section of the area and many stalls and shops were "operating and welcoming visitors and customers as usual", the market said. London Ambulance Service was called in, but confirmed it had not treated any patients.

Major fires have hit the sprawling market area twice before in recent years, in 2008 and 2014.
