While the cause of the fire is still unknown, witnesses in the area say it is highly possible that Guy Fawkes fireworks were to blame.
The London Fire Brigade has been warning people "not to become complacent" during celebrations, urging them to attend only organized fireworks displays.

The incident comes shortly after a report stating that early statistics suggested a reduction in Bonfire Night fires.
"Fire Chiefs cite the rain and people heeding our Bonfire Night safety tips as reasons for the reduction in number of fires last night," the Brigade said in the statement.
Comment: The appropriate caution and care should always be taken with things that go boom.
