Ten fire engines and around 70 firefighters were the scene of a fire on Netherhall Gardens in Hampstead. The fourth floor of the building had been alight along with part of the roof.

One person was treated for smoke inhalation and taken to hospital by ambulance teams

The London Fire Brigade’s Control Officers received more than 30 calls about the fire just after 6.30pm.
