The 118 service to Brixton crashed into a front garden

One person was taken to hospital after a London double-decker bus crashed into the front garden of a house.

The 118 Brixton service ploughed through a fence and hit the home in Streatham Vale, south London, shortly before 21:00 GMT on Boxing Day.

Three people were treated at the scene for minor injuries. The Met Police said no arrests had been made.

Streatham Vale was closed in both directions while the emergency services responded to the crash.

Transport for London (TfL) has been approached for comment.

Photos from the scene also appear to show damage to cars on the street.
