London’s homes are still highly exposed to potential floods if extreme weather hits the city despite warnings years ago that more needs to be done to protect them, new research suggests.

Flooding risks affect almost 580,000 homes in London – more than a seventh of the total number of households – due to aged sewer systems and the city’s location.
