Car crashes into front of Boris Johnson's London £1.3m townhouse

A car crashed into Prime Minister Boris Johnson 's south London townhouse worth £1.3million yesterday.

Pictures captured at the scene show a black Vauxhall Astra ploughed into a tree in the front garden of the four-bed home that the PM bought with his partner Carrie Johnson in 2019. Neighbours have described the incident, which took place at around 1am on Monday (9 May), as sounding like 'thunder'. The residential street has reportedly long had a problem with drivers speeding along it, using it as a rat run.

A small ornamental pillar in the front garden was knocked over in the crash, with damage to the hedges and a tree. Debris from the crash was also left strewn across the driveway and towards the road. Police has said no offences were committed in the crash and the driver has been treated for a minor injury. The car was eventually towed away at 5pm.
