A bus has crashed into a home in west London, damaging the front of the building.

Video of the single decker bus showed it encroaching on the property's frontage on St Quintin Avenue in north Kensington after the crash on Thursday, with a sash window dislodged from its frame.

The London Ambulance Service said it was called to the scene at about 19:15 BST, but that no one needed treatment.

The Met Police said officers attended the scene, alongside the London Fire Brigade, adding that no arrests had been made, and no criminal offences had been identified. Transport for London said it was working with the operator, First Bus, to investigate the incident.

Johnny Thalassites from Kensington and Chelsea Council said council officers were on site alongside dangerous structure engineers to assess the damage.

"We'd expect an investigation to be underway to establish the cause, but we're just glad nobody appears to be seriously hurt," he said.
