    London Fire - Tabernacle Street

    Anyone else arriving for work in the city able to smell it? Sure will be fun as we hit morning rush hour.

    Noticed it as far as Cannon Street, bits of burned paper in the air, no idea where it was coming from, then thick smoke - quite surprised to find out the fire is actually up near Old Street, looks nasty......

    Came up the escalators at Moorgate to the smell of burning. On the way to the office near Finsbury Square caught the smoke in the sky.

    Heard some people saying it was a restaurant that caught fire. Should be a nice burning smell in the air for the rest of the day.

    Rumour has it that it was 'The East Room' or something - according to Telegraph. Which looks to be a private members club.
