Reports of the fire on Seven Sisters Road were first received at 3.45am with crews from Holloway, Kentish Town, Islington, Euston and others attending the scene.
Around 20 calls were phoned in to London Fire Brigade in connection with the incident as the cause remains unknown.
Investigators will likely examine the scene once the fire has been brought under control and the area is safe.
Station Commander Mike Watts, who is at the scene, said: “There are road closures in place and we urge people to avoid the area, particularly as we head into rush hour, due to congestion in the area.
“The fire is producing a lot of smoke in the vicinity and local residents are advised to keep their windows and doors closed while we work to bring the fire under control.”
