A high volume of spectators flocked to the exit gates after Andy Murray’s victory over Vasek Pospisil in an attempt to make it home before the tube strike hit London.
The London underground system closed down at 6pm on Wednesday and is set to remain closed until Friday. Transport across the capital has been severely affected, with SW19 one of the more congested areas.
Wimbledon organisers advised fans to leave early and make alternative travel plans in advance. During Murray’s quarter-final against Pospisil, a warning about the strike was also put out on Centre Court advising people to leave if they wanted to guarantee reaching the tube on time.
