Show Notes

Heavy rain and flooding have been causing chaos in London.


On Thursday, a RNLI lifeboat, Met Police, and fire brigade vessels, had to rush to Temple Pier because a party boat sank that was moored there.


Ten fire engines and around 70 firefighters were called to Hackney Road in east London because of severe flooding after a canal burst its banks.


The Standard news reporter William Mata has been interviewing local residents and businesses impacted by the “knee-high” flood water.
