laraloobrush I know 'life goes on' etc but when those fireworks went off we jumped under the bus stop, terrified, & did not see the funny side. @se1

@chrissykinsella @SomersetHouse Think it was a corporate do - fireworks on river not likely anything to do with the SH venue management.
@dannyboyfriar @SomersetHouse Blame the company that hired the venue - likely nothing to do with SH itself.
@MartG_85 @williambaeck Not sure Somerset House itself to blame - likely down to whoever has hired the space tonight.
@williambaeck Er - we didn't organise it. We just report on stuff happening in our neighbourhood
