Koko Camden: blaze strikes renowned London music venue
London fire brigade sent eight engines and about 60 firefighters to deal with the incident.
Firefighters are attempting to save the prominent north London music venue Koko, as flames were seen billowing out of its roof on Monday evening.


The London fire brigade said it was called to the scene in Camden, in north London, shortly before 9pm. It said eight fire engines and about 60 firefighters were present.


About a third of the roof of the nightclub, which in previous incarnations was known as The Music Machine and Camden Palace, was alight as firefighters tried to save the rest of the venue.


The former theatre is covered in scaffolding as part of a renovation. Georgia Gould, a Labour councillor in the Kentish Town ward and the leader of Camden borough council, tweeted images of the burning building.
