A sinkhole has opened up outside an graveyard in south London and partially swallowed a people carrier. The Metropolitan police were called to Woodland Terrace in Greenwich at around 3.23am on Thursday. Officers found the front of the blue family car poking out of the hole, which had appeared outside Benefice of Charlton St Thomas’ church. “Someone down the road [who] was outside said they heard a big bang but went back to bed,” Simmons said.
