Patrica Smith:
As I saw the water coming in, I started to run around, trying to scoop as much as I could. Once the water reached the kitchen, I tried calling companies that could come and pump the water out. We didn't have that much luck, so after an hour of the water coming in, we packed an over night bag and stayed in the 'Holiday In' near us.
News Presenter: The London Met Office is warning that there's still heavy flooding yet to come, so stay with 'Urban Fm' for all the latest weather updates for London.
