London office block destroyed in major blaze

Firefighters attended at the scene of an early morning fire which destroyed an office block, restaurant and members’ bar on the edge of the City of London.

Around 100 firefighters and 20 fire engines worked to put the fire out, which was thought to have started in the kitchen of Sosho Bar, in Tabernacle Street, Shoreditch.

It took hold around 4am in the morning, and has destroyed 75 per cent of the third floor and roof in the block, and 50 per cent on the second and ground floors, according to the London fire Brigade. However, nobody had to be evacuated and there have been no reports of injuries.

The fire also spread to neighbouring buildings but the extent of the damage is still unknown. There were reports that thick smoke reached as far as the Bank of England and the Gherkin.

The cause is not known.
