Flash floods across London cause travel chaos

London has been hit by a series of flash floods after heavy rain pelted the capital. Residents in a number of areas such as South Hampstead, West Hampstead, Raynes Park, Friern Barnet, Isleworth and Wimbledon took to social media to post videos of the scenes and expressing shock at finding whole roads in their neighbourhoods submerged underwater on Monday. Cars were also filmed struggling to make their way through streets that appear to have turned into rivers after several inches of rainwater, while pictures emerged of people swimming in ponds created by the thunderstorms on Primrose Hill.
