Today, police cordoned off the high street and I never knew why. So I googled it and found; http://www.croydonadvertiser.co.uk/...cordoned-off/story-30319974-detail/story.html
So today there was another flat fire in London around the corner from me, but unlike that one yesterday, thankfully, no one was hurt. http://www.croydonadvertiser.co.uk/...ornton-heath/story-30392043-detail/story.html
Also in the news this week http://www.croydonadvertiser.co.uk/...-by-shooting/story-30390913-detail/story.html RE https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2017/jun/10/drive-by-shooting-croydon-south-london This never made the main news on TV, none of these 'local stories did' So I'm going to spare this thread London Bridge and add, who doesn't know Latimer Road? (Where that block of flats was engulfed in fire).
