PHOTOGRAPHERS across the capital have been snapping alarming pictures of an unusually high tide on the Thames today.
A picture by Woolwich Ferries on their Twitter account appears to show the old Woolwich pier engulfed by water.
Elsewhere, in Putney, roads have been flooded by the rising waters.
Allin Alldridge found his path blocked by rising waters
The tide has been high for several days. On Monday, Arin Alldridge tweeted: "Today, my walk along the Greenwich Thames pathway, to the gym, was a little more challenging than usual."
A spokesman for the Environment Agency said: "Currently the river levels are high along the Thames in response to high spring tides and tidal surge activity.
"The spring tides have now peaked today but we can expect water levels to remain high over the next day or so with Flood Alerts in place.
"Currently we are not expecting any property flooding as a result but we will continue to monitor the situation closely.
"People can keep updated on the situation via the flood warning page on our website environment-agency.gov.uk/flood or by contacting Floodline on 0845 988 1188."0 -

Friday morning at 5am I was awoken to go and rescue somebody from flood water on a local road, which the Police closed there and then with the relevant signs etc. Sunday morning our lot went back there as somebody had driven around the signs and was stuck in 4 foot of flood water, yesterday we went there twice for the same thing. 4am we were sent there to find somebody had removed the signs at one end, which we found after helping the man out of his car, we then used lots of "Fire Keep Out" tape to make a spiders web behind the signs. Yet yesterday evening somebody still tore it all down and decided to rsik the flood water.
People are idiots, most names have a clue in them, if it contains "Mill", "Water" or "Stream" pick another route.1 -
If anything contains 'Mill' just avoid it altogether5

Not really. That's more Surrey /Middlesex along the Thames in South West London "area". We're South East.operationpig said:Is that in your neck of the woods then?

In Surrey it is The Thames but mostly its tributaries like The Wey, The Mole etc that are causing the problems0

Did you take that photo JT?
Only I took a very similar one on Sunday.
Utter chaos in the town.0 -
I was down at Lingfield races the Saturday before last Smiffyboy. The train there and then walking to the course over the swollen rivers bought it home just how bad it has been for some and it's not anywhere near the worst place affected. Got friends in Datchet, looks horrible there.smiffyboy said:This was the fields just outside Lingfield racecourse when I went 10 days ago

Nice to see the country waking upto it now the floods are at London. They were losing there shit on the news lastnight about the Thames MAYBE overflowing soon.2

well it is the capital...0

I have sympathy with people affected but to buy a home on a flood plain and then blame the government when it floods Is a little bit irritating.0
-
not sure if I'm right but don't the government have a say in the first place to allow these homes to be built on flood plains?kigelia said:I have sympathy with people affected but to buy a home on a flood plain and then blame the government when it floods Is a little bit irritating.
