A burst water pipe on Bow Road, in London’s East End, caused flooding on Friday, July 6, with some residents reporting water crept into their homes and parts of the road caved in.

Local resident Emily Quinn told Storyful emergency services were on the scene but water had kept pumping out for several hours.

One Twitter user said, “Bow Road currently a pond.”

Police said Bow Road would close for Friday night and all cars and public transport would be diverted. Credit: Honest Emily via Storyful
