Homes and businesses have suffered millions of pounds-worth of damage after a water main burst near Marylebone station in London.

Dramatic video captured on Thursday morning showed the toll left by floods around Enford Street with water reaching up to 4ft in some businesses, including a newly refurbished gym.

Diego Core, 45, who owns the Movement Harbour gym, has been left heartbroken after spending £60,000 on new equipment – only for it to be ruined by flooding.

He told Metro: ‘It’s all ruined. The water was four feet high now it has been pumped out but everything is wrecked. It’s heartbreaking I have spent 15 years building up this business.

‘Questions need answering, this was a massive leak. It’s my livelihood and I have just invested more I will be seeking compensation and want a full investigation.’

One homeowner, who didn’t want to be named, described the scene as a like a ‘bomb site with mud and water everywhere’.

Hearings at Westminster Magistrates’ Court were postponed after the building was forced to close.

A police cordon remains in place after more than 60 firefighters, police, and engineers from Thames Water scrambled to the scene after reports of flooding at 5.20am.

The fire service said four metres of water filled basements triggering the evacuation of some residents and leaving businesses unable to operate. 

A fire brigade statement said: ‘Eight fire engines and around 60 firefighters dealt with flooding in the area around Enford Street in Marylebone.

‘A burst 9cm water main flooded an area of around 200m by 100m, leaving up to 2m of water in basement flats along Enford Street and York Street. Approximately 14 residents from ground floor and basement properties were evacuated as a precaution. There were no reports of any injuries.’

Firefighters set up flood barriers and sandbags to divert flood water away from some homes as the scale of the leak became apparent. 

Station Commander Brien O’Keeffe, who was at the scene, said: ‘Crews worked hard to assist partner agencies to resolve the incident as quickly as possible in a safe manner and are continuing to support local businesses and the community.

‘Members of the public are advised to continue to avoid the local area. Traffic restrictions are in place on Marylebone Road, Seymour Place, Crawford Street and Gloucester Place.’
