Train strikes and freezing weather have left London’s business districts deserted this week as thousands of financial professionals work from home to avoid disrupted commutes.
Office occupancy plunged to 22% in the capital on Tuesday, the first official day of the strikes — down from 51% a week earlier, according to Freespace, a workplace company that tracks the data.
