A MAN was treated in hospital after breathing in smoke at a burning flat in Tufnell Park on Saturday.

The London Fire Brigade said 30 people had already left the block before crews arrived at the scene of a fire in Brecknock Road at around 11.15pm. It took around an hour to bring the fire under control.

A third floor flat was damaged, along with the balcony at the apartment above.

The cause is being investigated.
