Two men in their 40s have drowned while swimming in a lake, police said today.

Officers were called to Longford Lake in Chipstead, near Sevenoaks, Kent, just before 7pm on Friday.

Police then discovered the bodies of the two men, who had travelled down from London.

A Kent Police spokeswoman said: "The circumstances are not being treated as suspicious and the coroner has been notified.

"The men's next of kin have been informed."
