[ying hao]

Does anyone know what is going on? At around 10:50pm+ there are sirens for ambulances and police cars and they have stayed there

The Brigade was called at 11:44 pm and mobilised crews from Peckham, New Cross and Old Kent Road fire stations to the scene. The fire was under control by 11:30.  

Very impressive

Time travel discovered by LFB?

So, is that barbershop closed after this fire?

I pass there regularly and they never seemed to to have anything more than the very occasional customer. always reminded me of candy shops on Oxford Street! 😉

It's sometimes quite busy. My son used to get a haircut from this place and the prices aren't bad at all for the area. The owner is a nice guy

That’s quite an unpleasant accusation.

I don't think it necessarily suggests anything.  It looks like a standard boilerplate formula, conveying just minimal basic known facts.  https://www.london-fire.gov.uk/incidents/?initialLoad=False&borough=&type=1251

It was implied, if we are talking about the candy shop comparison.

Shop is still open.

It's a very good barber shop, my adult and child sons have been using them since they opened.

Perhaps pop in or spread the word and support a small business that may be struggling hence being quiet rather than accuse them of being a front for something dodgy!
