Loads of sirens around the time I left the office in Greenwich (around 6pm), as it was a nice day decided to take a stroll through Greenwich Park, then through the fair on Blackheath common, good thing I did as could see a nasty plume of black smoke rising and reckoned it would have delayed the bus home.

Got the bus to Shooters Hill and walked through the woods home, noticed it seemed to be coming from near the tunnel/dome area. Anyone have any further info? Must have been viewable from one of the Canary Wharf buildings.
