Jamie Megson, 31, from Merseyside, who is in London as part of a stag weekend said: "We were drinking in a pub on the High Street when all of a sudden people started leaving the pub.
One onlooker John Fearnley from nearby Kentish Town said he spotted the blaze at about 7.10pm, adding: "It's definitely getting bigger. I think that it's spread to a neighbouring building."
"Out of curiosity we followed and managed to get quite close to the blaze, although police had already sealed off the area.
It's really gone up and there are lots of fire fighters and police.
"They've closed the pub we were in and seem to be shutting off most of Camden Town."
