Description: | In 1975, a very dry summer was followed by heavy storms in August. Rainfall levels were the highest of the century in London. This left cars floating in the street and the Underground flooded.
On the Metropolitan line near Farringdon station, the water reached 18 feet (nearly 5.5 metres) in places. A group of London Underground staff are standing by the tracks with a fireman, looking at the flooded tracks. | Format: | image/jpeg | Publisher: | London Transport Museum | Rights holder: | Transport for London | Subjects: | Environment | Temporal: | 18 Aug 1975 | Source: | London Transport Museum | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | image/jpeg | Go to resource |
