London's pubs and restaurants anticipate a significant impact on business this week due to strikes by Tube drivers. Members of the Rail, Maritime and Transport (RMT) union began a 24-hour walkout from midday today, with another planned for Thursday, set to disrupt services for the entire week.
Transport for London (TfL) urged passengers to check before travelling, warning the industrial action will hit all services. RMT members are actively mounting picket lines outside Tube stations since the strike commenced, with union official Jared Wood saying 'union members felt strongly about the issues at the heart of the dispute.'
