Work is underway to demolish the last remaining high rise tower as part of a regeneration scheme in London.

Over this week, Cambria House will be the final of seven tower blocks to be taken down as the next phase of the Erith Park redevelopment in Bexley.

Housing association Orbit South is leading the project in partnership with Wates Living Space.

Once finished, the Erith Park development will provide almost 600 homes.

Planning permission for the next phase of development, which will see 244 homes added to the 343 already developed, was granted by the London Borough of Bexley in February.

The first homes of the final phase will be ready in summer 2017.
