London commuters are facing chaotic journeys to work this morning, with delays across the Tube network and stations hit by huge crowds.

Severe disruption on the Victoria Line has led to station access being restricted due to overcrowding fears.

There are severe delays at Seven Sisters station, with 25-minute queues reported.
