More than 70 firefighters tackled a huge blaze which broke out on an industrial estate in Tottenham.
London Fire Brigade said
10 fire engines were sent to the fire at a single-storey bakery unit in West Mews, near West Road, at 6.20pm.
A spokesman said
no-one was injured.
He added crews fought to prevent the blaze from spreading to neighbouring units until it was brought under control at about 1am on Sunday morning.

Station Manager Charles Hanks, speaking from the scene as the fire was still raging, said:
“Crews were confronted with a large fire when they arrived and are now working hard to confine it to the bakery and stop it from spreading to any neighbouring factory units.
"There is some fuel stored on site but crews have isolated the supply and it is not involved in the fire.
“The fire is producing a lot of smoke so we are advising residents to keep their doors and windows closed as a precaution while it is going on. Thankfully though no injuries have been reported.”
Police were also called to the scene at around 7pm and closed roads in the area.

IT manager François Hérissé, 47, took a picture from his home of the smoke rising.
He said: "We first noticed a smoke and the very strong smell. I took the picture from my balcony and closed all windows."
The cause of the fire is unknown at this stage but an investigation has been launched.
