SHOPS were attacked by looters as unrest spread to north Chingford.
On another night of violence across London, two businesses in Station Road were ransacked at around 2am.
The owners of Virgo clothes in Station Road, Chingford, rushed down to the shop after being told their alarm had been triggered.
They found the window had been smashed and clothes strewn across the floor.
A till had also been smashed.

Kelly Farey, whose father owns the shop, said she was met by two residents who appeared to be patrolling the streets.
The men stood guard as she cleared up.
Ms Farey called the police but was told it would be some time before anyone could attend.
The men then ran to a nearby shop, Paparazzi, which was also being targeted by looters.
Miss Farey said: “We could hear the commotion coming from Paparazzi.
“We were so scared they would come back so we got into our car and drove off.
“The police were not around to help but we feel sorry for them because they just are not coping.”
Three police officers were taken to hospital after confronting 30 people who targeted premises in Chingford Mount Road on Sunday night.
They suffered minor injuries when they were hit by a car believed to be driven by one of the looters.
