Commuters avoid floodwater in Blackfriars

An amusing video has emerged of London commuters taking extraordinary measures to avoid floodwater at Blackfriars station.

The footage, captured by a passer-by, shows a long line of people edging along a wall to avoid walking through a deep puddle caused by heavy rains on Tuesday.

They are aided in their efforts by a gentleman in 'army' style camouflage clothing who helps ferry their possessions to dry land
