A huge storm has left some London streets submerged in water as train stations close and parts of the M25 flood.
Victoria and Kentish Town stations are experiencing flooding problems, with streets around King's Cross covered also flooded after a heavy shower on Wednesday afternoon.
The UK is set to be battered by storms after a week scorching sunshine and temperatures reaching up to 36C.
After amber warnings for extreme heat, the Met Office has issued yellow warnings for rain for the majority of England - some of which have been updated to amber.
The Met Office warned: "Heavy showers and thunderstorms are expected to break out today leading to some flooding and disruption.
"Some places will miss these, but where they do occur, 30 to 50 mm of rain could fall in less than an hour and a few places may see in excess of 100 mm in a few hours where storms are slow moving. Lightning and hail will be additional hazards.
"Showers and storms will slowly die out this evening."
Among the areas affected by the amber alert is London, with residents and commuters warned of possible disruption owing to the conditions.
Eleven areas in the east, south east and London have been warned by the Met Office to expect heavy rain and storms between 11am and 10pm today, with as many as two inches forecast to fall.
Flights from Gatwick have also been affected.
