Firefighters have been scrambled to a busy market in southeast London after explosions were heard and thick black smoke billowed across the city skyline.

Four fire engines and 25 firefighters were sent to Peckham Levels, a multi-storey car park-turned community hub, after loud bangs were heard inside this afternoon.

Shocking pictures shows the side of the building block blackened by smoke with reports of all staff and customers being evacuated.
