Water supplies are returning to normal following “major” flooding in Lewisham on Saturday night.
Emergency services were brought in and roads were cordoned off after the huge water leak caused a sinkhole to open up.
But Thames Water has now confirmed that all residents will shortly have running water resumed.
A crane was brought in to try and remove a coach that has become stranded after falling into the sinkhole.
London Fire Brigade rescued passengers from the vehicle, who were offered free food from a local Lidl supermarket as they spent the night in a shelter.
On sunday night the coach had been removed and work was underway to repair damage caused.
Concerned business owners were forced to close restaurants and shops as emergency services worked tirelessly throughout the weekend.
Ahmed Kazi, a local business owner, told London Live: “It was about 5:30pm and we just came to open the restaurant and lots of water started coming through.
“Within a minute we heard a loud noise at the side of the restaurant and water was just flowing all over the place. We just couldn’t believe it. We were so worried.
“London Fire Brigade came, the police came and Thames Water came. They are working really hard and trying to solve the problem but it is affecting all our local businesses because Saturday night is one of the busiest nights of the week and we couldn’t open the restaurant.
“I know they are really working really hard but it does affect local businesses.
"I have a tenant in there and they could not live in there last night - they had to go to stay in the hotel because they said they were worried this place might go down.
“So that is why we were so concerned and I am still concerned.”
Lewisham police have advised people to “prepare contingencies” for travel arrangements on Monday morning as it remains unknown how long it will take to move the coach.
