Firefighters were battling a blaze above a pub on Tottenham Court Road on Sunday afternoon, forcing the road to be closed.

The Court pub near Warren Street Tube station was apparently evacuated as fire crews battled to bring the fire above under control.

Smoke could be seen billowing above buildings at around 4pm, while Tottenham Court Road was cordoned off in both directions.

Footage from the scene showed bystanders gathering to watch firefighters being lifted up to the building’s roof in a cherrypicker.
