The historic Old Bailey courthouse in London faced an unexpected closure due to an electrical substation fire, resulting in the evacuation of 1,500 individuals from the court premises and its vicinity. The incident, which occurred on Warwick Lane near the court buildings, led to the closure of all 18 courtrooms. The London Fire Brigade swiftly responded to the situation, bringing the fire under control with the assistance of UK Power Networks. While repairs are underway, the cause of the fire remains under investigation. The closure has prompted an unprecedented interruption in legal proceedings, with alternative arrangements being made for affected hearings.
