A huge fire has broken out in East London, with thick black smoke quickly filling the sky over Whitechapel. Smoke has been seen for miles across parts of the capital, and pictures show thick plumes rising high into the air.
One person working at a local business said the fire 'appears to be getting worse'.
Smoke reported near Royal London Hospital
Another person on X reported seeing smoke rising from behind the Royal London Hospital on Whitechapel Road. The picture also shows smoke clouds rising into the sky.
