Millions of commuters are facing delays and frustration as a strike by London Underground station staff shuts down much of the city's subway network.
Several central London Tube lines were closed during rush hour on Monday morning, forcing many to walk, use overcrowded buses, or work from home if possible.
Other Underground lines offered only sporadic service.
Transport for London said service would be greatly reduced until Monday evening.
The strike also closed Tube links from terminals 4 and 5 at London Heathrow airport and connections at London's major train stations.
