Do you mean the contractor lived on site, or was the hut just a work building? Also, why is the TL in operation if it is only a hut on fire?

I was around the Bank of England at this time. I believe the hut was actually situated on the bank roof, which is pretty large. Caused some chaos in the area!

The hut was on the lower roof, (which is sort of like a large balcony), surrounding the central part of the building complex.I have a photo of A28 Dowgate's AEC TL (JUL61D) in use at 06:30 which was proberley to dark for them to put on here, I did scan it in! I also have pic's showing the burnt out hut! Its a very large portacabin set up. I was working in Lothbury, (road behind the Bank of England at the time, and was met with this incident when I arrived for work).

Did the contractor actually live in the hut, or was it just used to store materials?
