The fire appears to have started in a BBQ area on the top terrace at the Google HQ on Buckingham Palace Road, which was quickly closed off by 5 Fire Engines and Police.

Tweets and Twitpics soon started appearing on Twitter around 2:00 .. 7 minutes after the The Fire brigade was called.

    Looks like someone was having a party in the BBQ area.
