The fire was confined to a portable cabin which contained office furniture but it took four fire engines and 21 firefighters to bring it under control.
In the early hours of Wednesday 26, another four fire engines and 21 firefighters and officers were called to a fire in the basement of a restaurant on Baker Street, Marylebone.

A walk-in fridge was completely destroyed. Firefighters entered the basement and found it heavily smoke logged but the fire had burnt itself out.
