A builder who fell from his ladder yesterday sustained serious injuries, causing London's Air Ambulance to land at Barnes Primary School.
London Ambulance Service were called at 1.56pm on Friday, to reports of the man, thought to be in his 30s, falling from a height in Archway Street.
He suffered a chest injury and was taken to St George's Hospital as a priority.
The man was transported by land ambulance but was accompanied by the air ambulance's doctor.
He was conscious and breathing at the time.
