London's Mandarin Oriental hotel hit by fire

By Tom Walker    06 Jun 2018
The hotel is located close to London's Hyde Park

Around 20 fire engines and more than 120 crew fought a large fire at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel in London yesterday.

The blaze at the five-star, 181-bedroom hotel broke out at around 3.30pm.

A spokesperson for the hotel said the cause of the fire is not yet known – but according to eyewitness reports, it is believed to have started either on the roof or one of the top floors.
