Two mid-terraced houses worth millions of pounds in London’s Chelsea that were under refurbishment have completely collapsed.

Around 40 people were evacuated from neighbouring properties in Durham Place but fortunately there were no reports of injuries, according to the London Fire Brigade.

The Brigade was called to the four-storey buildings just after 1130pm last night (2 November), while the Metropolitan Police Service set up a 25m cordon around the site.
