Camden Market is Burning Down.. My Fair Lady

• 9th Feb 2008

It is reported that Camden Market is currently on fire, with one hundred fireman tackling the blaze.

Camden Market is home to the sub-culture of London and is a base for all things cultural with clubs, bars, shops and restaurants.

Local drinkers have been evacuated but there are no confirmations of casualties, although there are rumours of people trapped in the blaze.

The BBC reports that the Hawley Arms, popular pub boasting celeb regulars such as Amy Winehouse, has been caught up in the flames, although the alert was raised on the north side of the market on Chalk Farm Road.

Early guesses suggest that the fire was started in a row of shops.
