Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, said: "I am extremely frustrated by the strike action today on London Underground. This will have a serious impact on London’s businesses and commuters, at a time when we’re working to get more passengers back on to the network and boost the capital’s economic recovery.
“TfL have done everything they can to avoid this disruption going ahead and I’ve urged the unions to call off this action and to work with TfL to lobby the Government for a long-term funding deal that is fair to Londoners and our heroic transport workers.
“I encourage Londoners to listen to TfL’s latest travel advice and avoid travelling on the Underground, and only travel if essential on the rest of the network.”
