An electrical fire under the pavement in central London has led to some 2,000 people being evacuated from nearby buildings and a number of West End shows being cancelled.

Fire crews were called after smoke was seen coming out of an inspection cover on Kingsway, in Holborn, at 12.30 BST.

The electrical fire is among cables, said London Fire Brigade (LFB). A 25m safety cordon has been put in place.

Police have declared a major incident and closed the road at both ends.

Shows at the Lyceum, Duchess and Aldwych theatres have been cancelled, London Theatre Direct said.

And judges, lawyers and staff at The Royal Courts of Justice in The Strand have had to evacuate.

People have evacuated buildings along Rose Street and Garrick Street, along with the market building in Covent Garden.

Emergency services are waiting for utility companies to disconnect the power supply before tackling the fire. Seventy firefighters were at the scene, LFB tweeted.

I've worked in west end theatre. This is huge as it's not just the London underground that's affected, it's upto 1,000 customers per show as well.

That wasn't my point.

My point was about the power cut.

a) Its April, it is hardly cold.

b) The longest power cut I have had was 5 days, in January, with snow on the ground. I lived....
