A building in London's historic Camden Market went up in flames overnight becoming the latest disaster to strike a city and a country already rattled by four terror attacks and the devastating Grenfell Tower fire. It all comes as UK Prime Minister Theresa May begins to negotiate a tricky Brexit.

The year so far:

* 18 June - One man died and nine others injured when a Cardiff man drove a van into pedestrians near the Finsbury Park Mosque in northern London. Counter-terrorism police are investigating.

* 3 June: Eight people died and 49 others injures when terrorists drove a hired van through pedestrians on London Bridge with the trio inside then going on a murderous rampage to the nearby Borough Market pub and restaurant area attacking people at random with 30cm knives.

* 22 May: A suicide bomber killed 22 people and injured 59 others during a concert by US pop-singer Ariana Grande at Manchester Arena.

* 22 March - Five people died with more than 50 others injured when 52 year-old Briton Khalid Masood ploughed his car into pedestrians on the Westminster Bridge.
