A car smashed into the front of Boris Johnson’s £1.3million south London townhouse yesterday.
A black Vauxhall Astra was pictured having crashed into the tree at the four-bed home which the Prime minister Bought with his partner Carrie Johnson in 2020.
Police said no offences were committed in the crash and the driver was treated for a minor injury.
The crash damaged the hedges, tree and knocked over a small ornamental pillar in the front garden.
It also left debris strewn across the driveway and towards the road.
Neighbours reportedly said that the residential street has long had a problem with drivers speeding along it, using it as a rat run.
The Camberwell property is coming towards the end of a six-month long refurbishment and when builders tried to get into the property yesterday they had to use a saw to cut their way through the greenery.
As recently as last month, Carrie was seen assessing the works on the property whilst Boris has not been seen there for two years.
One neighbour told The Mail Online said that locals had been joking that the prime minister was readying the home for when he gets thrown out of office.
Mr Johnson also owns a detached house with a tennis court and pool in Oxfordshire.
Neighbours described the noise of the crash as like “thunder” and the car was finally removed around 5pm this evening.
A spokesperson for the Met police said: "At 01:19hrs on Monday, 9 May police were called following reports of a road traffic collision.
"Officers attended and found a car that had struck the exterior of a property causing minor damage.
"The driver of the car sustained a minor injury and was assessed by paramedics but did not require hospital treatment. No offences were identified."
