Tottenham fire: Six fire engines called to church blaze in Tottenham High Road

A huge fire has broken out at a church in north London.

Six fire crews were called to Tottenham High Road at 9.30pm after the blaze was reported at a Pentecostal church.

Pictures on Twitter show the building engulfed by flames while video footage circulating online captures smoke billowing out on to the street.

One witness tweeted: "Massive fire at the Pentecostal church on Tottenham high road. About 10 fire brigades on the scene."

Transport for London (TfL) said a bus lane had been shut on Tottenham High Road near Seven Sisters Road due to a building fire.
