Buses and cars were left stranded when roads across London flooded on Sunday, as repeated thunderstorms battered the British capital. Social media users posted videos of partially submerged vehicles in southwest London, with more heavy rain set to fall as a band of thunderstorms made its way across southeast England. The Met Office issued an amber weather warning across London and surrounding counties until 7pm local time (1800 GMT). Police closed a road near Queenstown Road station in southwest London, where three double-decker London buses were stuck under a railway bridge, according to an AFP journalist. Other motorists in Walthamstow, northeast London, abandoned their vehicles as the rain hammered down.
