Joanna Cater said: "I live on Montague Road and I have no water, the whole street has no water.

"Kingston road is like a river. It's crazy."

Another resident in Montague Road has reported they have no power as well as no drinking water.

Nin Randhawa said: "I live on Russell Road; I was halfway through shaving this morning when the water suddenly stopped.

"Luckily there was a bottle of water in the fridge for me to finish and rinse the foam from my face."

A statement posted to the Thames Water website reads: "We apologise to customers in the SW19, SW20, SM4, KT3 and CR4 areas who are experiencing low pressure or no water.

"This is due to a burst water main on Kingston Road. Our teams are working hard to fix this and return your supplies back to normal as soon as possible.
