The fire was located in part of the building's roof space
Owing to a fire in one small part of Somerset House, the site is currently closed.
I came out to have lunch and was going to go back in again after
It's in the west wing, but we don't know any more than that
We're gutted - it's been such a dramatic day.
Crews have been working incredibly hard through the very hot weather and heat of the fire to protect Somerset House from further damage,
The Courtauld Gallery has not been directly impacted by the fire and it will remain open,
The fire at #SomersetHouse is now under control and investigations into the cause will begin,
A fire was spotted at about midday in one corner of the west wing, the site was immediately evacuated and the London Fire Brigade called, who arrived very quickly,
The age and design of the building proved a challenge to crews as they initially responded,
Smoke is coming from the back of the complex and filling the square, people are now being ushered out.
I was walking along the South Bank, and could smell smoke, looked up and saw smoke coming out of the top of Somerset House
The Courtauld, including our galleries and collection of artworks, is unaffected by the fire
It's fine, it's localised in one area.
Twenty fire engines and around 125 firefighters have been deployed to a fire at Somerset House
It's anticlimactic - everyone's so excited for all of the events happening today
The Courtauld Gallery is in there, I have no idea what the value of the collection is, but it's millions (of pounds) - irreplaceable stuff.
Everybody is safe and for now we want to let the London Fire Brigade get on and do their brilliant work,
Crews are now working to extinguish the final pockets of fire,
Crews are continuing to work at bringing the fire in the buildings' roof under control,
