The venue's Courtauld Gallery is home to artworks such as Vincent Van Gogh's 'Self-Portrait with Bandaged Ear' and 'The Descent From The Cross' by Peter Paul Rubens but the blaze broke out on the opposite side of the Georgian-era complex.
The cause of the fire remains unknown, according to authorities. The entire site was closed to the public and traffic in the surrounding area is expected to be impacted.
