Last night’s flash floods have greeted Londoners with heavy travel disruptions this morning.
Multiple roads and rail routes have been closed after a night of heavy rainfall caused flooding in the capital.
The London Fire Brigade (LFB) has advised people not to drive or walk to work after being called out around 45 times last night to deal with “flooding-related incidents”.
Many of these included calls to people stuck in cars and occasions of property flooding.
The brigade has also urged people to follow guidelines on flood safety after the Environment Agency released eight flood alerts for the Greater London area.
In their online guidance, LFB say: “Water building up on the street can quickly turn into an emergency. If you feel that you or someone else is in danger, call 999 immediately.”
Travel Disruptions
Commuters were hit with severe delays this morning, as many tube and train services have been disrupted by flooding-related issues. Some of the affected routes include:
Bakerloo
District
Circle
Hammersmith and City
Metropolitan
London Overground
Station platforms become overcrowded as tube lines are held up.
Transport for London has advised travellers to “allow more time for your journey and consider alternatives”.
They stated that the London Overground, TfL Rail, DLR, London Trams and National Rail services are all running but “will be busier than usual”.
Drivers may also experience issues with road closures and delays. Sections of the A41, M25 and A1 in north London, and part of the A40 at Old Oak Common have been affected by the floods.
