A fire has broken out at a tanning and beauty parlour in Wood Green, north London.
The blaze broke out yesterday afternoon inside Ania’s Tanning and Beauty on High Road, witnesses told Metro.
Ragu Nad, the owner of Ania’s Tanning and Beauty, described to Metro how a bus driver who regularly tops up his tan was on a sunbed when he heard a spark before running for it, with an explosion gutting the shop a minute later.
Footage posted to social media shows thick black smoke spewing out from the ground floor of the three-story building before a sudden burst of smoke caused bystanders to flee.
High Road, between Station Road and Bounds Green Road, was closed from around 3.35pm.
The local council said at just after 5.20pm: ‘The road is now open to traffic. Thanks for your patience.’
The London Fire Brigade, Metropolitan Police and London Ambulance Service have been approached for comment.
