Climate change has noticeably contributed to flooding in recent years in East London. The attached photos from last Summer (July 2021) are examples of infrastructure and services affected by this phenomenon.
"London is prone to flooding from five sources – tidal, fluvial (from rivers and tributaries), surface (from rainfall), sewer and groundwater flooding. Climate change will bring wetter winters and more frequent heavy downpours, as well as rising sea levels and higher tidal surges."
