Flooding has forced the evacuation of around 20 people from their homes, with just a little more than a week until Christmas.
1:06Thames Water has apologised for"the flooding and distress" caused by a burst pipe in north London that forced several homes to be evacuated.
A 42-inch water main burst overnight and unleashed half a metre of flooding across an area of around 800 metres, London Fire Brigade said. Eight fire engines and around 60 firefighters were called to Belsize Road in Camden at around 3am on Saturday morning. The fire brigade said several homes were flooded and firefighters had to lead around 20 residents to safety.
Footage shared on social media shows emergency services using small boats and helping residents wrapped in blankets to safety.Sophie Adams, who lives near the flood, woke to find only a drizzle of water when she turned on the tap to make a cup of tea.
