A Place In Space is a long running comic store in Croydon, London, the centre for a number of fires and riots the last few nights, with Church Street on which it stands currently closed.

On their eBay page, they state "Due to the Riots and fires in the local area, as a precution, we will be closed until further notice (hopefully not for long)."

However Twitter people are worried, stating;

Helen O'Hara – "just spoken to Mook – they're ok as well. The feckers have burnt down a comic shop in croydon. I have unhappy geek friends."

Antonio Spinozzi – "the burning family business in Croydon was down the road from the comic shop I spent my teens in :("

Chantelle Martin – "Clint was getting upset that he could do nothing about the fire in Croydon near the comic shop!"

Anyone with confimation on the current status of the store, or any other affected, please do get in touch.
