Torrential rain and flash floods in Tooting
I was marooned in Caffe Nero at Tooting Broadway today. The rain was lashing down and before I knew it, the pavement and road was flooded. Water started seeping into the coffee shop and was ankle deep at the doorway. Finally I resorted to taking off my trainers and socks and rolled my trousers up and waded across the road as to my left outside the cafe, the water was knee deep. Next stop, Shoe Zone to buy some jelly shoes to get me home!
Managed to get a bus further up the road (tube was shut, Woolworths, M&S, New Look etc all closed as flooded) and although Figges Marsh was flooded, Mitcham was relatively unscathed.
