Storm Babet brings 5 London flood alerts including Lewisham, Bromley and Croydon
As Storm Babet hits the UK five flood alerts were issued for London this morning (Friday, October 20). The warning is for areas including Lewisham, Bromley and Croydon and a weather warning remains over the rest of London. The yellow rain warning covers the whole capital until Saturday, October 21. It comes as more rain is anticipated to follow the earlier downpours we had this week. This morning, flooding had to be cleared in Brent Cross, where a fire engine was spotted in the street, as well as Purley, Hackney and Elephant and Castle. Two London Underground stations - Kew Gardens and London Victoria - were affected by flooding with trains unable to stop at the latter on the Circle and District lines. Storm Babet struck the UK overnight bringing a red danger to life weather warning for Scotland and sending spectacular 20ft waves crashing against the coast.
