Was confirmed like 1-2 hours ago, methinks. It was on Sky News.

That blaze was reported to be Sainsburys, but later changed to be Sony distribution centre.

Greater Manchester police claiming reports of rioting innacurate, nothing happening at all (via their Twitter)

Good source for London.

If you look on StreetView, it has/had Sainsbury's signs outside. I think the Sony Centre is either somewhere else or shares the building with Sainsbury's?

Sloane Square has been attacked!

The Sony Centre is in Enfield.

With targets like this being attacked, can this really be just random rioters moving around? Waltham Abbey is quite a way from London, and how do you burn down such a large building, anyway?

sleeper cells.

For real Oliver ?

Not the Sony Centre, the Sony depot. It's the building on the eastern edge of the business park, oriented north-south (not the humongous one further east by the M25)
