Dozens of firefighters battled a large blaze at a restaurant and offices in London on Thursday which sent smoke billowing across the city centre.
The fire broke out at a four-storey building in Tabernacle Street, near Finsbury Square, Shoreditch. A fire brigade spokeswoman said there were no casualties or injuries.
It is believed the fire started at the Sosho Restaurant before spreading, though the cause of the fire is still unknown.
About 100 firefighters and 20 fire engines attended the blaze in an area surrounded by residential and commercial properties.
