A 28-year-old man has been charged with the murder of a man found critically injured near Tower Bridge.

Police were called at about 02:35 BST on Saturday following an argument involving a group of men and women in Queen Elizabeth Street.

Tommy Blackmore, 20, of Bermondsey, south-east London, was taken to hospital where he was pronounced dead.

Lloyd Smythe, of Staple Street, Bermondsey, has been charged with Mr Blackmore's murder.

He is due to appear at Camberwell Green Magistrates' Court later.

Mr Blackmore, a prolific fundraiser and a Millwall football fan, had helped the Fight 4 Cancer campaign to raise £32,000 for Cancer Research UK.

More than 150 family and friends walked to Tower Bridge to pay their respects to him on Saturday.
