Ravensbourne burst its banks and A20 Loampit Hill closed at the Lewisham roundabout.

Just took an hour to drive from SE23 to Lewisham DLR!

I thought the Ladywell Rec flood prevention scheme was designed to stop this.

Ladywell can help relieve the Ravensbourne but not the Quaggy which looked pretty swollen when ran past it on Sunday morning.
