According to the BBC, the London Fire Brigade has received many calls from residents reporting flooded basements and roads.
Heavy rain caused severe flooding in some parts of London on Sunday.
Officials have issued a warning to pedestrians and drivers against travelling in the "hazardous" conditions.
The Metropolitan Police Special Constabulary took to Twitter to warn drivers not to attempt to drive through floodwater.
There’s quite a lot of flooding in London tonight. If you see deep water, please DO NOT try to get through. Rescuing people uses a lot of resources, and so it’s wiser to apply good judgement and find a different route. #WestRPT pic.twitter.com/pBFFR0ZnJw
