    Around 100 firefighters have tackled a blaze at a block of flats in east London.

    Footage showed flames engulfing two different flats in Aldgate, with smoke seen billowing into the air.

    The properties on the sixth and seventh floors of the building in Leman Street were alight, with firefighters leading 11 people to safety.

    There are currently no reports of any injuries

    London Fire Brigade (LFB) said 15 fire engines dealt with the blaze after being called at 5.43pm.

    Borough commander Lucy Macleod, who was at the scene, said: “Crews acted swiftly to bring the fire under control, but will remain on site this evening to damp down remaining hotspots.

    “Road closures are currently in place, and there is significant congestion in the surrounding area. We urge the public to avoid the vicinity where possible while we continue to work to make the scene safe.”

    The cause of the fire is under investigation, LFB said. The fire appeared to now be under control.

    The fire brigade used a 64-metre turntable ladder as an observation tower in the area, which is close to London Liverpool Street station and the popular nightlife area Shoreditch.

    Fire crews were sent to the scene from Whitechapel, Shadwell, Shoreditch, Dowgate, Bethnal Green and surrounding fire stations.
