Flames and black smoke billowed out of the windows of two flats on the ninth and 10th floors of a 13-storey tower block in Catford.

Approximately 70 firefighters, 10 fire engines and several ambulance crews were sent to Rosenthal House, a block of 40 flats built in 1969, shortly before 1pm.

Fire crews from Forest Hill, Greenwich, Deptford, Lee Green and other stations were dispatched to the scene.

Local boy Alex Yee wins gold. We like to think that hill training on The Horniman Heights gave him the wherewithal for that last yeet.

🥇 Here is the exact moment when Alex Yee from Lewisham achieved his GOLD medal for the Men's Triathlon!

🌟 Alex was a key athlete in our Lewisham London Youth Games team and he trained at the Ladywell Arena.

👏 Lewisham is so proud!

Walking along Honor Oak Park in south east London, I discovered One Tree Hill isn't just a noughties American TV series (wow!) but an actual hill with allotments, a cemetery, etc. I didn't have time to explore it, but I know for next time I'm in the area.

Loved the geraniums at Honor Oak station - really very beautiful to stumble upon on a sunny Sunday evening. @TfL

Amusingly she came out and yelled “Why are you taking pictures of my car”. Perhaps because @YPLAC and people have to step onto the South Circular to get around it?
