Feet wet to many Londoners!<\/em><\/p>\n

Heavy rains sank the English capital in places overnight. Local public transportation was partially disrupted, and according to media reports, upscale shopping streets in the west of the city were flooded.<\/strong><\/p>\n

As London’s public transport company announced, several important lines of the Underground network were affected, causing chaos in the hectic rush hour: among others, the Metropolitan, District, Piccadilly and Circle lines were affected by cancellations and delays. Two subway lines were closed, and parts of the tram (above ground) were also cut. BBC<\/a>.<\/p>\n
