Boris Johnson and his girlfriend have fled their home following the bust-up that has dented his hopes of becoming prime minister.
With anarchists now camped outside the flat, he and Carrie Symonds, 31, have decided to go into hiding.
Friends of the former foreign secretary say it may be impossible for him to return to the £700,000 property in Camberwell, south London. One said the couple had spent the weekend together and their 'loving and doting' relationship was 'stronger than ever'.

Mr Johnson, 55, is refusing to break his silence on the domestic incident in the early hours of Friday that saw police officers called. Jeremy Hunt raised the pressure on his Tory leadership rival by saying 'someone who wants to be prime minister should answer questions on everything'.
As MPs who are backing Mr Johnson also called for him to reveal what happened:
It emerged that Miss Symonds was accused by a Johnson aide of helping his rival Sajid Javid; Supporters of Mr Johnson privately voiced concerns about his relationship with her; Pictures emerged of Mr Johnson buying the wine that spilled on Miss Symonds sofa, apparently sparking the row; His allies claimed he would call the bluff of rebel Conservative MPs threatening to bring down the Government to stop a No Deal Brexit; Liz Truss, a Cabinet rank ally of Mr Johnson, warned it was not inevitable that he would be crowned Tory leader.Yesterday, anarchists perched themselves on the steps of Miss Symonds' flat to protest against her lover and his party's policies. Six Class War supporters shouted abuse and held up posters reading 'f*** Boris, f*** the government'.
Camberwell residents have also shown their distaste at having Mr Johnson as their neighbour and posters mocking him were put up before Friday's altercation.
He stayed out of the spotlight yesterday as his campaign team held talks on how to deal with the crisis.

A friend of Mr Johnson and Miss Symonds told the Mail: 'They've spent the weekend together after being driven out of their home in Camberwell and actually the events of the past few days have made them stronger than ever but they really shouldn't have to put up with this nonsense. They're in a very loving and stable relationship. They totally dote on one another.'
The domestic dispute was recorded by a neighbour and reported to police.
Neighbours claimed Miss Symonds could be heard screaming and telling Mr Johnson to 'get off me' and 'get out of my flat'.
Sources last night claimed that in recent weeks there had been tensions between Miss Symonds and members of Mr Johnson's leadership campaign team. In a sign of the acrimony, one aide who is working for Mr Johnson told friends they believed she had been helping Mr Javid, the Home Secretary, with his failed leadership bid.
The couple who recorded the row and shared it with The Guardian newspaper – Eve Leigh (pictured) and Tom Penn – were also not home yesterday. Pictured: Eve leaving her Camberwell home a week before the recording was released
A MP who is backing Mr Johnson said it was 'probably best' for the couple to decide whether or not to get married. 'A decision needs to be made,' the MP added.
A source involved in Mr Johnson's leadership campaign said: 'The bigger worry is that this brings his personal life into play more generally. Things that might previously have been seen as 'not relevant' or 'not in scope' suddenly become fair game.
'Some MPs have been worried about Carrie, but I think she's politically savvy enough to know how to play things without causing damage to Boris.'
Anarchist circus at Boris' flat: Protesters urge PM hopeful to move to a posher part of the capital as marijuana-smoking neighbour defends him as 'cool-guy'

The street outside Boris Johnson's love nest descended into a circus at the weekend as campaigners swooped in.
Simmering discontent among residents at their new neighbour exploded into the open after news broke of Mr Johnson's angry row with his girlfriend Carrie Symonds.
Posters were plastered across railings opposite the South London flat mocking the Tory leadership contender, with one urging him to move back to a swankier part of the capital.
The street outside Boris Johnson's love nest descended into a circus at the weekend as campaigners swooped in. The group from Class War arrived at the apartment claiming Johnson wasn't even fit to be a 'Pie Minister' and held up signs that read 'F**k Boris. F**k the government'
Anarchists stood on the steps of the building carrying posters and shouting. Seemingly using the incident as an excuse to protest against the Conservative party, one veteran warned the couple would 'regret' moving to the area.
Mr Johnson and Miss Symonds, 31, have not been seen at the Grade II listed building since police were called in the early hours of Friday.
The couple who recorded the row and shared it with The Guardian newspaper – Eve Leigh and Tom Penn – were also not home yesterday. Miss Leigh has admitted making an offensive gesture at Mr Johnson when they met on the steps of their building last week.
But neighbour Wayne Moseley, 47, defended the politician, saying he was a 'cool guy' who would chat on the steps while Mr Moseley smoked cannabis.
The film director – who goes by the name Yuppie Wayne – even criticised his neighbours for recording the argument.
Describing Mr Penn as a 'peaceful guy', he added: 'I'll be honest with you, neighbour to neighbour, no I don't think it was very fair.
'We all have domestic arguments with our partners.' Describing how he would see Mr Johnson 'all the time', he said 'I've met him on the doorstep, when I'm smoking my marijuana out here. I thought he was a cool guy.'
He said Mr Johnson had never said anything regarding him smoking cannabis and that he had never offered him any.
Six members of the anti-establishment group - including veteran protester Ian Bone, once described as 'The Most Dangerous Man in Britain' - turned up outside the Grade II Listed building just before 2pm today. One protester held up a scrawled upon pillow case which read 'Camberwell welcomes migrants not Boris'
He said that Miss Symonds was a 'nice girl, a pretty girl'. Mr Moseley recently sparked a police response after shooting a scene involving two fake guns with a millionaire former Big Brother housemate.
He spoke out as six anarchists from the anti-establishment group Class War staged a protest outside the flat. Standing outside the front door behind a banner, veteran anarchist Ian Bone, 71, called on Mr Johnson to come out, shouting 'Looks like Boris is moving out anyway, can't take the pressure'.
When asked whether his actions may drive a 31-year-old woman out of her flat, he said: 'I don't think she will come back – they will regret moving here and not Notting Hill or somewhere like that.
Local Kirstie Lamont stood outside Miss Symonds's flat yesterday holding a poster with a picture. When asked whether she thought the posters would make Miss Symonds feel uncomfortable living in her flat Ms Lamont said: 'Well, move'
'She's not welcome here or any other working class area – and neither is he.'
The retired health worker was once arrested for public disorder after protesting outside a previous address of Mr Johnson in North London in 2016.
Another protester, who gave her name as Sorcha, has lived in the area nearly thirty years and said: 'Refugees and migrants are welcome, Boris isn't.' Residents along the leafy street have also shown their distaste at having Mr Johnson as a neighbour.

Kirstie Lamont, 48, said: 'This area is just not hostile. We probably wouldn't throw yoghurt on him if he walked by. But we wouldn't be inviting him around for dinner.'
When asked if the posters could make Miss Symonds feel unwelcome, she said: 'Well, move. Sorry, that does sound very aggressive. Kensington and Chelsea, that's more the area that he belongs.'
Another local resident – who was attending a dog show on the green opposite – said: 'This is a pretty gentrified area, we're all liberal here, so he doesn't really fit in. I understand he's just going to his girlfriend's house, but the posters show he's not exactly welcome.'
Class war anarchists descend on Boris and Carrie's flat as it emerges she's 'too afraid to return' after anti-Brexit neighbours called police on them and handed row recording to newspaper
By Bridie Pearson-Jones and Isabella Nikolic for the MailOnline
Anarchists staged a protest today outside the flat of Boris Johnson's girlfriend Carrie Symonds after the 31-year-old said she is 'too scared to return home' following the furore that erupted over her row with him.
The protesters were from Class War and included Ian Bone, 71, who was once described as 'the most dangerous man in Britain' and recently faced criticism after accosting Jacob Rees-Mogg's children.
It comes after a recording of the couple having a 'plate smashing screaming row' was handed to the police and the Guardian newspaper by their ardent Remainer neighbours Eve Leigh, 34, and Tom Penn, 30.
The group from Class War arrived at the apartment and held up signs that read 'F**k Boris. F**k the government'.
Today, Ms Symonds described the recordings, which hear her telling the Tory frontrunner, 55, 'get off me' and 'get out of my flat', as a as a 'political stitch-up'.
