A Vauxhall Zafira has fallen down a sinkhole in south-east London, outside of St Thomas’ Church at 3:20am this morning.

The car was owned by Ghazi Hassan, who was in the area visiting his brother on Wednesday night. His blue four-door people carrier was discovered by police this morning, who have cordoned off the area for the safety of surrounding houses.

A Royal Borough of Greenwich spokesman said the local council would conduct a further investigation, and will update residents of the surrounding area as soon as any more information is revealed. Geologists have determined that sinkholes are appearing more rapidly across Britain, and warned more are expected to appear.

The sinkholes are suspected to be because of the torrential rainfall in the past few months.
