New Malden restaurant damaged in blaze

A south London restaurant and house were badly damaged after a fire broke out last night.

Four fire crews used jets as well as an aerial platform to tackle the blaze at You Me Korean in Burlington Road, New Malden.

A London Fire Brigade spokeswoman said the blaze, which started just before 6pm, destroyed most of the roof, 10 per cent of the first floor and all of the piping.

No-one had to be evacuated and no-one was injured in the incident.
