0209: LBC radio apparently just reporting that British Transport Police have confirmed disturbances on Silver Street in Enfield. Developing⦠0206: Reports now that arsonists in Thamesmead may be near a primary school.

Near Crossway Gym. 0201: Houses near Linton Mead (Thamesmead area) are apparently on fire. Confirming. 0156: Reports that Thamesmead is suffering from arsonists â stand by.
