Eight motorists were trapped and had to be rescued after a major road was flooded in northwest London.
Firefighters helped drivers who were stuck in half a metre of water on the North Circular road near Brent Cross.
Thames Water said a burst main on the road had led to low water pressure or no water at all for the NW2, NW4, & NW11 postcodes.
London Fire Brigade (LFB) sent four fire engines to the scene shortly after 3:30pm on Monday.
An LFB spokeswoman said: "We assisted with getting eight people out of their vehicles, that were trapped in their vehicles due to half a metre depth of water."
