Buildings in London are sinking and cracking due to a growing subsidence problem in the city. The London area and other areas of southeast England are at the epicenter of this geological situation that has been worsening recently.
The problem is being exacerbated by the unusually hot and dry weather the region has been experiencing. The heat waves are drying out the city's soil at an accelerated pace, causing significant impacts on the terrain's stability.
As the soil loses moisture, the terrain shifts and shrinks progressively. This geological phenomenon is causing buildings to sink, putting at risk the structural integrity of various constructions in the British capital.
