Heavy rainfall has wreaked havoc across London, flooding train stations, stranding motorists and forcing at least two hospitals to redirect patients from their emergency rooms.

Therefore, a hospital has been forced to evacuate patients and cancel operations.

Around 100 inpatients at Whipps Cross Hospital in east London have been moved elsewhere and ambulances perted after the NHS declared a "major incident".

London Fire Brigade (LFB) said it had taken more than 1,000 flooding-related calls across London. Moreover, LFB affirmed it had rescued people trapped in cars and also helped with flooded basements and collapsed ceilings.

A spokesperson for Barts Health NHS Trust; said the situation was being kept "under constant review" after cancelling all planned surgery and outpatient appointments for the day.

They added: "We are perting ambulances while we work hard to clean up affected areas of the hospital.

"The emergency department at the hospital remains open for walk-ins, but patients requiring urgent treatment are asked to attend alternative hospitals where possible."
