18 Denmark Place (which is now demolished) was the original location of the Denmark Place Fire, committed by John "The Gypsy" Thompson.
The Denmark Place Fire is widely regarded as one of Britain's deadliest mass-murders (in terms of death-toll it was worse than the King's Cross Fire and even the Great Fire of London) and yet the true story of what happened on 16th August 1980 is largely forgotten.
Date: Saturday 16th August 1980
Location: 18 Denmark Place, W1
Victims: 37 (but technically 38)
Culprit: John Thompson
