A Catford house fire that left four people in hospital is being investigated by the London Fire Brigade.

Two fire crews from Forest Hill and Lewisham were called to Bellingham Road shortly after 6am on Tuesday.

Two men and two women inside the house managed to escape the fire, which had spread through the ground floor of the house, before firefighters arrived.

They were treated at the scene for smoke inhalation before being taken to hospital.

Firefighters managed to bring the blaze under control by 7.30. London Fire Brigade has now launched an investigation into the cause of the fire.
