TREE NEWS update: A natural gas leak in the City of London on the 13th local time led to the precautionary evacuation of about 4,700 people. The London Fire Brigade said a ruptured main gas pipe was found in a six-storey office building. Authorities set up a 200-metre cordon and evacuated surrounding buildings as a precaution.

AI take
The disruption is physical, not market-structural: a ruptured main in a six-storey office building triggered a precautionary cordon, and the evacuation figure reflects density in the City rather than any financial exposure. For crypto and RWA desks, the relevant question is operational — whether the cordon touches premises housing trading, custody or settlement functions, since that is where continuity risk actually sits. Whether the precautionary perimeter is lifted quickly, and whether any affected firms disclose continuity measures, is the open question.
