Gallery open again hours after blaze at Somerset House

A statement from the central London venue said it would stay shut "until further notice" while firefighters investigate the cause of the blaze.

However, the Courtauld Gallery, home to priceless artwork, reopened yesterday as it was "not directly impacted". Paintings include Vincent Van Gogh's 1889 self-portrait showing his bandaged ear and works by Claude Monet and Paul Cezanne.

On the same day, an event called Daytimers RepresentAsian, described as "a day dedicated to South Asian creativity", was cancelled. And London Battle, a celebration of breakdancing, was called off on Saturday.
