About 100 firefighters were tackling the blaze at the building in Garman Road, Tottenham.

Dramatic images showed towering plumes of smoke which could be seen for miles across the capital.

Witnesses as far away as Canary Wharf, which is about eight miles from the scene, reported seeing the dark grey clouds rising into the sky.
