Yesterday afternoon saw an usually high tide in Greenwich resulting in many of the paths surrounding the Thames being flooded.

Residents took to Twitter late afternoon to upload comments and photos with one image showing water gushing through the railings surrounding the river and flowing onto Meridian Gardens.

Naomi Brooks, 22, of Heathway, said: "Fortunately I don't live too far from the barriers but I was a little worried for other people who live right next to the parks."

The mother-of-one added: "I regularly walk my dog across those paths and have seen the tide high before but it was a little bit scary seeing it that bad yesterday."
