LCC-LFB J Lyons Corner House fire, The Strand
Firefighters deal with a fire in J Lyons Corner House, The Strand, Central London. This was a popular and famous tea room in Londons West End, opened in 1915. It had a restaurant on each floor, and live orchestral music. The ground floor contained a large food court. The tea rooms were noted for their art deco interior design and the brand was famous for its gold lettering on a white background. The restaurant opened again for business three hours after this fire was put out by the Brigade

EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the brave efforts of the London Fire Brigade as they battle a blaze in the iconic J Lyons Corner House on The Strand in Central London during the 1930s. The popular tea room, known for its distinctive art deco interior design and ornate gold lettering on a white background, had opened its doors in 1915 and was a beloved destination in London's West End. With a restaurant on each floor and live orchestral music, the ground floor housed a large food court where patrons could enjoy a variety of culinary delights. Despite the grandeur of the building, this day in 1934 saw the J Lyons Corner House fall victim to a devastating fire. The smoke-filled scene shows firefighters in action, their determined faces a stark contrast to the billowing, chaotic smoke that fills the room. Horses and fire engines are stationed outside, adding to the sense of urgency and chaos. Despite the extensive damage, the London Fire Brigade managed to extinguish the fire in just a few hours, and the J Lyons Corner House was able to reopen for business once more. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the vital role that the fire service plays in protecting our communities and preserving our historic buildings.
