More than 500 revellers attended an illegal rave overnight, with youths dancing and singing until the early hours of the morning.

The unlicensed music event took place in woodland in Walthamstow Forest late last night and wasn't shut down by police until shortly after 3am.

Images show hundreds of people packed tightly into an area in the middle of the forest. With bright lights dangled around trees, youths can be seen dancing in front of a young DJ who is playing a live set on make-shift decks.

Two large speakers blasted out loud music, which kept residents awake for most of the night. A number of complaints were reportedly made by residents to police, who swooped in to shut down the rave.
