FLOODING left the A20 closed and cars stranded earlier this morning - while one man seized the opportunity to take their dog for an unusual walk.

Police were forced to close the A20 due to severe flooding after being alerted at 4.17am by motorists stuck on the road.

After the closure, one man was spotted walking calmy down the road with his pet pooch.

Transport for London tweeted the picture, saying: "Look at this fella walking his dog on A20."

The road has since been reopened.
