A man has been arrested on suspicion of arson following the 'tragic' fire at the derelict maternity ward at Queen Mary's Hospital.

He was arrested last Wednesday (Aug 19), the day after the huge blaze in Sidcup - which was tackled by nearly 100 firefighters.

The fire on Frognal Avenue is being treated as suspicious, and Met Police are continuing to investigate.
