The air ambulance landed on Tooting Bec Common after a building collapsed yesterday.

Part of a building, under renovation in Louisville Road, crumpled at about 5pm.

The same thing happened a few years ago in Southfields. The RSJ's weren't installed correctly and the whole back of the house collapsed into the garden and through the fence out onto the road. Luckily no one was injured. All the locals thought a bomb had gone off, it made such a racket!
