Shocked residents have today described the "exciting but scary" moment a gigantic sinkhole swallowed up part of a street in south-east London.
The residential street in Bexleyheath was cordoned off by police yesterday evening, at around 9.30pm after locals described the area - that spans the entire width of the road - cracking and collapsing around them.
Darren, who chose not to give his last name, described the moment a motorcyclist had a "lucky escape" after his bike fell into the sinkhole.
