Around 70 firefighters in 10 fire engines are battling the blaze at the Baitul Futuh Mosque in London Road.

People attending for prayers were evacuated from the building after the ground and first floors were hit.

Shocked onlookers gathered opposite the mosque, watching a dark plume of smoke billowing out of the building's roof, before they were ushered behind a police cordon.

Ambulance officials say one man has been taken to hospital with smoke inhalation but there are so far no other injuries reported.

Up to 10,000 people can fit inside the mosque but it is not known how many were in the building at the time.

We’re there any secondary explosions? Mosques are armories of Islam.

Joke caption time:

Firefighters arriving on scene 2:13:45 after the first call came in. Located just around the corner, they got lost on the way and had to call Mecca to get directions.
