Images shared on social media showed tall flames and a burnt out building at the north London market, which is popular with Londoners and tourists.
"The fire was moving very fast," witness Joan Ribes, 24, told the Press Association.
He said the fire "was flying through the air to the surrounding areas".
"People were watching, but we were scared the building could explode at any time since there are restaurants with kitchens nearby," he said.
A London Ambulance Service spokeswoman said they were called to a fire at 00:07 am (2307 GMT on Sunday).

"We sent a clinical team leader and our Hazardous Area Response Team to the scene.
"We have not treated any patients, and we remain at the scene," she said.
