A ‘dramatic’ fire has broken out in a residential area in south London tonight.

Plumes of dark smoke can be seen billowing in the sky above Elephant and Castle.

Accounts of the incident believed to taking place in the Walworth Road area first appeared around 7.30pm.

Footage shared on Twitter shows flames coming out of a block of flats, but the exact location has not been confirmed yet.

Social media has been flooded with videos of the ‘crazy’ fire as the area filled with smoke.

‘Elephant and Castle filling with smoke from a fire somewhere in Walworth. Hope people are ok,’ one person tweeted.

It is still unclear how the blaze started and if residents have been evacuated.
