A heritage-listed London pub thought to date back to around the 16th century has been damaged in a fire.
The blaze on Friday night damaged three floors and destroyed the roof of the grade II-listed Burn Bullock in Mitcham, south-west London, that was reportedly visited by a British king.
King George IV “briefly frequented“ the institution that was a meeting place during the Napoleonic Wars, according to Merton Council’s local heritage service.
The left wing of the three-storey property dates between the 16th and 17th century and the front between the early and mid-18th century, according to Historic England’s official list entry.
Historic England has listed the Burn Bullock on its Heritage at Risk Register which states it was in “very bad“ condition and “had been illegally occupied as a House in Multiple Occupation and has suffered associated deterioration“.
