Two teenagers were both given first aid before the London Ambulance Service attended the scene. A Metropolitan Police spokesperson said: “Despite the efforts of emergency services, one of the men, aged 17, was sadly pronounced dead at the scene.

“His family have been informed and will be supported by specialist officers.” A second man was taken to hospital for further treatment, where his condition was deemed not life-threatening.
