On Saturday, a significant fire broke out at Somerset House, prompting a rapid response from the London Fire Brigade, which deployed fifteen fire engines and around 100 firefighters to the scene. The firefighters are tackling the blaze located in part of the building's roof, and their objective is to prevent the fire from spreading further through this historic complex.
Authorities have confirmed that the cause of the fire remains unknown. Smoke had been rising from the cultural center located along the River Thames, which has a rich history as a former royal palace and current hub for art and education.
Somerset House is not only a pivotal location for various arts and education-related organizations but has also gained fame as a film location, featuring in several James Bond movies. Additionally, the complex is often used for concerts, making it a cultural landmark in London.
