A car has fallen down a huge hole in a street in south-east London. | |
The blue people carrier was discovered by police parked outside St Thomas' Church, in Woodland Terrace in Charlton, at about 03:20 BST. | |
The road has been closed near the church due to "subsidence problems", London Buses said. | |
BBC Radio London reporter Barry Caffrey, who is at the scene, said there was speculation the collapse could be due to recent heavy rain. | |
The Royal Borough of Greenwich said it was "urgently investigating". | |
A police spokesman said: "The local authority has been called and there are other agencies on scene." | |
He said no-one had been injured and a cordon was in place. | |

"We are urgently investigating the matter and will update residents the moment we have more information." | |
