It is not yet clear what started the fire…
… The Bishops Avenue, known as ‘Billionaire’s row’, is considered to be one of the richest streets in the world…
Previous homeowners in the area include the extremely wealthy Sultan of Brunei and pop star Justin Bieber.
‘The Towers’ is believed to have been owned originally by musician and actress Gracie Fields.
It was then knocked down in the 1970s before the current version of the building took its place…
Despite the high value of properties on the road, a number of them have remained abandoned for decades..
