Part of a three-storey terraced house has collapsed in east London.
Emergency services were called at around 12.17pm on Saturday to Gloucester Drive in Hackney.
Video posted to social media showed the entire back of the house had sheered away, leaving bricks and rubble scattered over neighbouring gardens.
