A dispute between transport union RMT and Transport for London resulted in a five-day Tube strike, causing travel chaos.

The union rejected a 3.4% pay offer and is campaigning for a cut in its members' 35-hour week, which Transport for London (TfL) has said is unaffordable.

Frustrated commuters opted for buses and bikes to get around London.

The Elizabeth line and the Overground were still working during the strike, which ended on Friday morning.
