A massive grass fire broke out in East London today as parts of the UK became like a tinder box due to the extreme hot weather.
Dramatic pictures captured flames looming over firefighters as they battled to douse the blaze at Hollow Ponds, Leytonstone.
London Fire Brigade (LFB) said two fire engines were called to the grassland at roughly 11.30am, with the flames extinguished by 12.45pm.
