Footage of water being pumped from a flooded street in Kennington, London, UK on Monday morning.

Residents found their commutes seriously disrupted after what is thought to be a burst water pipe created a 'new river'.

The filmer, a local office worker, wrote online: "pumping begins as water board arrive to assess the damage.”

Transport for London wryly tweeted: "A new river has appeared on Kennington Park Road, most likely a burst water main. Buses diverted 3 59 133 155 159 333 415."
