A Bentley worth around £200,000 was left in bits after smashing into the side of a popular pub.

It's the second time in as many years The Kings Arms pub in Broadway, Bexleyheath, has been hit.

But the pub remained open on Sunday with punters continuing to enjoy their evenings while watching the fire crews deal with the aftermath.

There is some structural damage to the front of the building and hoardings are up but the Bentley appears to have taken the brunt of the impact.

The most recent model of the car has a price range between £180,000-£260,000.

The owners have also confirmed they remain open and are working around the damage.

On Christmas morning 2021 the pub had its wall breached when a Mercedes crashed into the same bit though the owners say the damage caused this time is more severe.

London Fire Brigade attended and in a statement, it said: "Firefighters were called to a road traffic collision on Broadway in Bexleyheath.

"Two fire engines and a fire rescue unit from were called at 2.41am and crews worked to make the scene safe.

"One person was taken to hospital by London Ambulance Service crews."

The Met Police was also there and in a statement it said: "Police were called at 02.39hrs on Sunday, 29 January to reports of a road traffic collision in the Broadway, Bexleyheath.

"The driver was taken to hospital with minor injuries.

"No arrests have been made."

A Facebook post made by the pub said: "We have to say how amazing the London Fire Brigade were in dealing with the matter and even letting big Pete fulfil his dream of sitting in the back of a fire engine.

"Equally London Borough of Bexley council for jumping on the matter quickly with a team to survey the building and start looking at how best to make the corner safe going forward.

"Everyone is safe although some work is to be done."
