The garden of a £1.3 million south London townhouse owned by Prime Minister Boris Johnson has been hit by a car. A black Vauxhall Astra crashed into the Camberwell property’s front garden at around 1am on Monday, which neighbours described as sounding like “thunder”.
The car, which was finally towed away at around 5pm, damaged hedges and a tree, and knocked down a small pillar in front of the house. Debris was left strewn across the driveway.
The driver suffered minor injuries, and appeared to be retrieving his possessions from the side door of the vehicle before it was towed away. A spokesman for the Metropolitan Police said: “Officers attended and found a car that had struck the exterior of a property causing minor damage.
