Footage has emerged of Londoners making the best of a bad situation during flash floods in the capital city.

Severe thunderstorms hit London on Sunday afternoon (July 25th) with almost a month worth of rain falling in a single day and causing flash floods.

Video taken by Amber Van Boost in the Hackney Wick area of London shows a resident who decided to take the situation in their stride and took to the flooded streets in a KAYAK.

Amber, 25, said her neighbours took the Kayaks out “to see how far the flooding went as we live on a top floor so we were trapped in the building.”

“After water services attended we helped neighbours deal with the aftermath.”
