No one was thankfully hurt after a vicious fire tore through the roof of a newly-refurbished luxury hotel in central London on Wednesday afternoon (June 6).
Around 120 firefighters across 20 fire crews were called to reports of a fire at the near £700-room-a-night Mandarin Oriental Hyde Park in William Street, Knightsbridge, shortly before 4pm.
London Fire Brigade (LFB) said the fire is believed to have “spread across a vertical facade for plants and vegetation” to several floors but was quickly extinguished.
