This gentleman's car was swallowed up over night by sink hole that opened up in a London street! 

 

"The blue people carrier was discovered by police outside St Thomas' Church at about 03:20 BST.

BBC Radio London reporter Barry Caffrey, who is at the scene, said there was speculation the collapse could be due to recent heavy rain."

 

I would imagine waking up to this would put a bit of a downer on your day!

Good grief! It does make you wonder about the safety of the church and it's foundations?
