Torrential rain has flooded homes, roads and Tube stations in London after thunderstorms struck the south of England on Sunday.

Locals on a street in Woodford have been using buckets, brooms and wooden boards to create makeshift flood defences and scoop water away from their homes, while water gushing from an Underground station was caught on video.
