The Walkie Talkie building in Canada has been evacuated due to a fire, according to reports.

At least three five engines are lined along Fenchurch Street, while evacuees and customers of Sky Gardens, one of the City’s top tourist destinations, stand outside.

The police and an ambulance are also the scene.

First visit to @SG_SkyGarden, booked months ago, two hours before we have to head elsewhere – and of course the building has been evacuated 🤦‍♂️ pic.twitter.com/vHK07MG8TX
