AP journalist Raphael Satter was walking by Kiwi House in London and had this to report:

Kiwi House, at London's Central Saint Martins, was evacuated following a small explosion Wednesday evening. The apparent source? A badly secured barbeque.

Witness Sam Sinclair said flames from the grill ignited a gas canister.

"It caught on fire real quick," said Sinclair, a 25-year-old tourist from New Zealand.

Kiwi House was cordoned off by police as several fire engines doused the outside area with water.
