    Rihanna’s certainly had an eventful time during her stay in London …

    A spokesperson for the hotel said, “At approximately 6.30am, one of the service elevator motors burnt out. There was a slight discharge of smoke and because of our robust fire management policy, the alarms were activated and a full evacuation of the building was carried out.”
    .
    “As a matter of procedure, the fire [department] were called to carry out full safety checks throughout the building. All guests were safely accounted for and were allowed back into the hotel soon after 7am.”

    Ri tweeted a pic of a fire truck outside of the hotel and one of her in a taxi, in which she sped away from the scene.

    Rihanna, who is a fan of London’s “tube” (subway) and uses it frequently as her mode of transportation, rode around in the cab until the coast was clear.

    No injuries were reported.
