A water spout reaching 30 ft has nearly halted traffic as it sprayed across a busy road in south-east London.<br /><br />The mist towered over buildings and soaked passing cars as they went past. <br /><br />Jordan Kemp, who captured the urban water feature, was left speechless as he passed the unexpected fountain in his car.<br /><br />A Thames Water spokesperson said: “Finding and fixing leaks is a top priority with over 1,000 repairs made each week. <br /><br />“We received reports of a water leak in Charlton, Woolwich, on Tuesday 7 March and our engineers attended on the same day to investigate. <br /><br />“On attendance the leak had stopped and it’s believed it came from a third party pipework. <br /><br />“We carried out due diligence and checked the surrounding areas for any leaks in on our network, however none were identified.” <br /><br />The incident took place in Woolwich at around 1pm on Tuesday 7 March.
