Massive fire in Central London, more than 2000 evacuated

New Delhi : More than 2000 people were evacuated after witnessing thick smoke in central London

An underground blaze created smoke which forced mass evacuation and cancellation of many shows in the nearby buildings

Thick black smoke began to emerge from the pavement on Kingsway

Kingsway thoroughfare that cuts national capital from north to south

Around 10 engines and 70 crew was sent to the scene to handle situation carefully

"It may seem like an April Fool's joke (and you know what we're like!), but tonight's performance is most definitely cancelled #sorry," tweeted the Duchess Theatre's "The Play That Goes Wrong"

After eight hours of tussle, fire fighters took control over the blazing fire.
