On Tuesday night in London, due to torrential downpour, a London cafe was submerged, thigh high, in water, causing tens of thousands of dollars in damage, requiring two weeks in time to make repairs. Because the cafe resides in a dip in a hill, the entire area is particularly prone to flooding. The cafe owner remarked how similar damage happened the prior year due to flooding as well. London’s underground station, as well as numerous cars on the roads, were submerged in water also.

Key Takeaways:

• The cafe owner had extensive damage from a recent flood in London and her business will be closed for repairs.
• This is the third time in the two years she has been there that her cafe has flooded
• A spokesperson from the area where the cafe is located will be working with the London underground on a solution to minimize the risk of flooding in the area.

“Ibadete Uberoi said her coffee shop, Mia Cafe, has suffered thousands of pounds worth of damage after water cascaded into it overnight.”
