London has been brought to a standstill by Underground workers’ decision to strike over night shifts – but at least most Londoners appear to have kept their sense of humour.

A steady stream of amusing images posted to social media may have kept spirits up as they waited for buses at one of the many over-crowded transport hubs in the capital.

Workers represented by four unions (Aslef, RMT, TSSA and Unite) downed their tools at 6.30pm last night over negotiations with Transport for London regarding the implementation of 24-hour Tube services.

Although the strike is expected to end at 9.30pm this evening, a TfL spokesperson warned that normal services will not resume until the following morning – with some services possibly still affected.

Meanwhile, play at Wimbledon has continued, with stewards telling The Independent today was one of the best days to visit as “people are walking straight in”.
