Fire crews were called following reports of a tree fallen against a four storey block of flats.

Fire fighters were called to Five Oaks Lane, in Hainault, at 12.38pm yesterday (13 October) to a report of a tree in a precarious position.

There were no reports of any injuries but a 25-metre cordon was put in place by the the London Fire Brigade (LFB) as a precaution and further assistance was called for.

An LFB spokesperson added: "The incident was left in the care of a mobile crane operator and tree surgeon."
