A similar incident happened in Dollis Hill Lane, Dollis Hill.
Commuters making their way to Kensal Green train station were forced to make a detour after a fallen Rowan tree blocked their path.
Once at the station they faced severe delays on the Bakerloo Line as transport bosses struggled to cope with storm.
Almost all Tube lines were affected while those hoping to travel in or out of London were hit with suspension and cancellations by train operators.
