[This](http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1257124/100-firefighters-tackle-blaze-Tabernacle-Street-London.html) fire is taking place quite close to my office, which smells distinctly of smoke today. Any other U.K. Dopers nearby? (Btw, I’m not usually a Daily Mail reader, they simply had the best pics.)

Yep, saw (and smelled) this coming in to work this morning.

I get off at Moorgate, work in Broadgate, so the proximity was a bit of a concern…

Holy crap! My old flat was just off City Road near that junction.
