A massive fire has destroyed a large property on London’s Billionaire’s Row, where homes can cost up to £17 million.
Around 40 firefighters went to the scene on Hampstead’s The Bishops Avenue, which is widely regarded as one of the world’s wealthiest avenues.
The Sultan of Brunei and Canadian pop singer Justin Bieber are both former residents and owners of residences in the region.
At 3.45 a.m., emergency crews went to the upscale street to put out a fire at a large house.
The roof, first floor, and ground floor of the separate property were entirely destroyed, according to the London Fire Brigade.
The fire, which is still being investigated, was put out by 6 a.m., but workers remained on the scene for several hours.
It is unclear who owns the house that was destroyed by the fire. Station commander Rob Hazzard says the home is not thought to be in use at this time and there are no injuries.
Mr Hazzard said: ‘The property is believed to be disused and empty at the time of the fire, so fortunately there were no reports of any injuries.
‘Firefighters were faced with a significant fire on arrival which involved the whole of this large building.
‘Crews worked hard to tackle the blaze and bring it under control.’
The 66-house street has been home to some of the world’s most wealthy, including Saudi royals, Heather Mills and Sir Billy Butlin – founder of the holiday camps
