Great Halls of fire

In the spirit of fire-based procrastination, I thought I'd blog about a fire which is currently underway at a building in Albert Hall Mansions. The fire cannot be more than 10 metres from the Albert Hall, and that begs the burning question "is the Albert Hall going to burn down?". Indeed this has been a hot topic of conversation around the physics department today as postgrads throughout the building stopped working and gathered outside for a look at the flames, or maybe a quick smoke. Clearly no one was too worried about getting fired. It was so exciting that many could be seen on the phone calling loved ones, or even old flames, to tell them the news. Luckily from what I saw I can infer-no one was hurt.
