London's Oxford Circus flooded with people as 10 pm curfew on bars and restaurants comes into effect

London's Oxford Circus was flooded with people on Thursday evening (September 24) after bars and pubs kicked out punters as the 10 pm curfew came into effect.

Footage captured by @kirstylewis6 shortly after 10 pm shows punters and pedestrians crowded together in close quarters, despite the social distancing rules in place.

The new set of coronavirus restrictions were announced earlier this week and aim to tackle a possible second wave of coronavirus.
