But this morning the Environment Agency said the warning for the Little Venice Country Park and Marina was being dropped as the "situation is improving and no further flooding is expected in this area".

However, it added: "River levels have now fallen below the level expected to cause property flooding. Further rainfall is forecast from Sunday and into next week.
