    A house collapse in Bromley, SE London, on Tuesday evening led to trains on the mian London - Kent line being cancelled.

    Homes were evacutaed when the house collapsed, as police feared more may follow suit, and the adjoining railway line was closed 'as a precaution'.

    Three homes closest to a house which collapsed in the middle of the night are to be demolished.

    Bromley council obtained a court order allowing it to knock down the adjoining property and two other semi-detached houses in Ridley Road.

    The south-east London council said the order had to be obtained because of complex ownership issues.

    Engineers will then investigate the cause of last Tuesday's collapse which left a hole in the road.

    There has been speculation that a mine shaft, a well or the high-speed Eurostar track behind the houses, might be to blame.
