BBC London reporter Alice Bhandhukravi is at King's Cross station for BBC Breakfast. She said: "The gates are firmly closed at King's Cross station as they will be at all of London's 270 Tube stations.

"It is the second such walkout in this dispute over plans to introduce all night services on the Tube and you will see behind me a picket line forming.

"The unions are unhappy with the conditions being offered to drivers so they are taking action for this 24-hour period."

Londoners are now in full-on strike-mode and getting around as best they can without the Tube. Here's a reminder of what it's all about.

• Drivers are unhappy at pay and conditions offered for working on the new Night Tube service set to begin on 12 September

• Members of the four unions - RMT, TSSA, Unite and Aslef are walking out causing a total shut-down of the Tube network

• The unions have rejected a deal including a 2% salary increase this year, an extra £200 per night shift for drivers for a limited time, a £500 bonus for night Tube staff when the service is introduced in September and a shorter working week

• London Underground says it will not offer a better deal and union representatives should put it to their members

BBC Weather

If you're walking today because of the industrial action it will be a rather cloudy start to the day, with perhaps the odd spot of rain in places.

The cloud will begin to break up throughout the day, allowing some warm spells of sunshine to develop.

Maximum temperature: 24C (75F)

BBC Travel

The DLR, London Overground, TfL Rail, Tramlink and National Rail services are not affected by the Tube strike and currently have a good service.

We're expecting them to be busy but there are no reports of any problems yet.

However, it's already starting to get busy on the roads. The Highway is slow from Wapping because of roadworks.
