This impressive image from @NPASLondon gives a view that most Londoners struggling into work on foot, bicycle, bus, overland train and vehicle this morning would most probably prefer. Image:@NPASLondon
20,000 underground workers striking today means more travel chaos, frustration and a struggle to get into work for Londoners this morning.
The struggle to get home last night has already been reported.

Motorists are given no respite.
The congestion charge has not been suspended.
Instead Transport for London have issued guides on how to walk, or pick up a Santander bicycle.

We're seeing some very heavy congestion on the A406 North Circular Road, particularly at Henlys Corner and Hanger Lane Gyratory.

We remain committed to talking to the unions. If their leaderships are serious about an agreement their only course is to suspend the strike

As the #TubeStrike begins, please remember the roads, inc #M25, are likely to be even busier than normal, and it's still hot out.
