I doubt it as it was on the North Eastern side of Chalk Farm Road and the fire was on the other side. | |

Just checked
It was the canal market which caught fire - the NPG Store was opposite the Stables Market.  | |

The fire was about 150 yards round the corner. . |

I wondered about that when I heard the news of the fire.  If prince.org were to be made idiot proof, someone would just invent a better idiot. | |

The shop is still standing. A couple of months ago I happened to be passing as I live nearby and popped in to see how it looked now. It was owned/rented by a couple with a young baby as a kind of grocery store. Went down to the basement which now functions as a kind of off-licence type area. Doesn't look like they'll be there for too long - everything very spread out and sparse. Brought back lots of memories - I was about 16 when I last went. It seemed smaller than I remembered. All repainted bright white inside with laminate floors. (No time capsule!) It was my mecca! | |
