Orpington High Street has an impressive new water feature after a hydrant dramatically burst.

The sky-high fountain erupted earlier today, sending water pelting into the air way above the neighbouring shops.

A large puddle has begun to form as the water main shows no sign of slowing.

Thames Water are reportedly on the scene and aware of the leak.

An employee from a nail salon next to the burst main said engineers are currently attempting to fix the leak.

The latest watery fiasco comes after parts of Crayford were left underwater when a 24-inch pipe burst.

Video shared on social media showed the shocking aftermath of the massive leak, with much of the Crayford Retail Park flooded.

And up to 16 vehicles in the Town Hall development were damaged when the flood waters caused the polyestrene floor of the car park to swell and rise.

Thames Water are still working to fix the leak, which initially burst almost a week ago and left many homes in south-east London without water.

They said: "We're sorry to any customers affected by our repair work in Crayford Road and are doing all we can to get everything back to normal as quickly as possible.

"We will be working from 7am until 10pm each day until the repair is completed."
