London faced a third day of severe disruption as London Underground workers went on strike for the second time this week.

Transport for London (TfL) said people should expect all tube services across the capital to be suspended on Thursday, and advised passengers to work from home or walk or cycle where possible, or plan for crowding and delay if using other trains or buses for essential journeys.
