Flooding in Bow, east London, leaves hundreds of homes without water and power as the area is hit by bursts of flooding during a heatwave. Multiple outlets report that the flooding reaches significant depths, with some areas described as up to around a metre deep. Emergency crews respond to incidents across the neighbourhood, including rescues from a public house as floodwater covers surrounding streets and properties. Residents are reported to face disruption to essential services, including loss of water supply and electricity, affecting homes in the immediate area of the flooding. The reports also indicate that the flooding is linked to the failure or bursting of key infrastructure and that the resulting conditions make it difficult for people to move safely and access normal facilities. Authorities continue efforts to manage the flooding, assess damage, and restore services while dealing with ongoing emergency response needs.
