They are investigating whether a vehicle fire in the same drict on 8 May and a fire at the entrance of a property in a near area on 11 May are linked to the incident on Monday.
The man, arrested on suspicion of arson with intent to endanger life, remains in custody, police said.
Officers from London’s Metropolitan Police Counter Terrorism Command were leading the investigation due to the property’s connections with a high-profile public figure, police said.
Starmer lived in the house on a quiet street with his family before he moved into Number 10 Downing Street when he became prime miner last July.
