Crews battle blaze at tower block
More than 50 firefighters tackled a fire on the 16th floor of a tower block in London's Docklands.

The blaze broke out at the building, owned by Citibank, in Canada Square at about 0942 BST on Sunday.

A spokeswoman for London Fire Brigade said part of the roof and the 16th floor were damaged.

Eyewitness Joel Elster said: "It started off as light smoke than there was quite a big cloud of smoke on top and it lasted for about 10-15 minutes."
