Exclusive: London flats flooded after pipe bursts as tenants stage service charge strike

London flats were flooded after a burst pipe caused water to gush from the ceiling overnight on Wednesday, 30 November into the next morning.

Footage shows a submerged hallway inside a social housing block on East Ferry Road in Canary Wharf.

“Nearly every other day we we continue to experience burst pipes, flooding, and water damage on most floors”, one resident told The Independent.

Tenants say they are staging a service charge strike in response to the issues.

The Independent has contacted Metropolitan Thames Valley for comment.
