A historic building at 229 Strand in central London has been made safe by workmen after a bus was reported to have damaged the exterior earlier in the day.  Situated opposite the Law Courts, the property was built in 1625 and originally housed The Wig and Pen, becoming a favourite watering hole for lawyers and journalists during Fleet Street's heyday.  It is the only building in the Strand to survive the Great Fire of London of 1666 and today houses a Thai restaurant. Reconstruction and repair has yet to be undertaken.
