A fire is burning through part of Holborn in Central London.

The London Fire Brigade (LFB) is dealing with the blaze in an underground utilities tunnel on Theobalds Road, by the junction of Southampton Row, in Holborn.

Ten fire engines and 70 firefighters are tackling the inferno which is particularly 'challenging and hazardous' as it's in an underground electrical tunnel.

The LFB's control room took about 18 reports of the fire, the cause of which is unknown.

The following eight London buses are on diversion: 1, 19, 38, 55, 59, 68, 133, SL6.

It is not clear if there have been any injuries, but we have contacted the London Ambulance Service (LAS) for more information.
