Two London hospitals have asked patients to stay away after thunderstorms battered the south of England

The Environment Agency has six flood warnings in place across the country's southeast, while there are 19 alerts for potential flooding active throughout England and Wales.Residents in northeast London used buckets, brooms and wooden boards to create makeshift flood defences for their homes, while water gushing from an Underground station was caught on video.

Londoner Eddie Elliott, 28, said the flooding was the worst he had ever seen it, after he cycled past Queenstown Road station where the road had been "totally shut down"."It stands out as the worst I've experienced personally ... totally shut down the whole road with buses stood broken down in the water."

Whipps Cross Hospital said it was "experiencing operational issues" and asked patients to use an alternative A&E "if possible".
