Seems to be Holborn direction (I'm in Covent Garden).

Big black plume of smoke.

Anything important?

Sky News reporting it as 'Breams Building' in Chancery Lane - home of special immigration tribunals...

BBC website said:

At least 40 firefighters are tackling a fire in a building in central London, London Fire Brigade (LFB) says.

LFB were called to the fire at Chancery Lane, near Holborn, just after 1530 BST on Wednesday.

Flames can be seen reaching up to the sky from the roof of the five-storey building.

The lane has been closed to traffic and all transport to the area has been diverted.

Who writes this crap?

"Flames can be seen reaching up to the sky"

Is Tinky Winky a journalist now?

FFS...I just secure a number of placements at several barristers' chambers at Chancery Lane and now the place is burning down....kiss of death eh?

Men of Pistonheads near Holborn, go out with water and put that fire out! Or I may hang myself by the end of the night.

So reportedly the flames are reaching the stratosphere? 30 miles high? That's pretty impressive.

A BBC staff member based in Henry Wood House near Oxford Street said she can see smoke in the sky from her office.

What a pathetic last paragraph!
