Mitcham: Historic Burn Bullock pub badly damaged in large fire

Four men were assessed at the scene by London Ambulance Service crews.

Eyewitness Amzy, an architect student who did not want to give her surname, said she “saw flames” coming from the building and it “looked like it had been burning for a while”.

“It was always aesthetically pleasing to see an old-style pub survive this far,” the 18-year-old said.

“I felt quite distraught to see such a nice valued building go down in flames, and I’m sure I’m not the only one that was disheartened to see that.”

According to Merton Council’s archives,, external it was named after Burnett “Burn” Bullock, a former Surrey cricketer who later became licensee for the pub when it was known as the King’s Head.

The archives said he was a player and committee member of the Mitcham Cricket Club, and his wife continued to run the pub after his death in 1954.

The cause of the fire at the pub, which sits next to Mitcham Cricket Green, is under investigation.
