London Tube strikes cause chaos

Transport for London has warned that services will be extremely limited, with some lines closing entirely during the industrial action.

Hospitality leaders have expressed concern that the strikes could cost the sector millions in lost revenue as people avoid the city center.

Mayor Sadiq Khan has been urged to intervene and end the 'stranglehold' of the union on the capital's transport system.

The strikes are scheduled to take place in two tranches throughout the week, causing significant logistical challenges for businesses and residents alike.
