Flash floods that created 2ft of water in Thames Ditton caused shop damage and chaos.

Ye Olde Swan staff were also witnessed pumping water out of the building after the flooding along Station Road and the High Street on Saturday, October 3.

The manholes by the George and Dragon were also spouting geysers, with several manhole covers blown off in Station Road.

Katie Adams, office manager at Journeyman Pictures, said: “We were a foot or two under water and sewage.

“It has stopped our business because our sales team are based on the ground floor where the damage is.

“It absolutely stinks. It’s the worst smell ever, and we’re all having to work upstairs to get out of the air space.

“It will take at least two or three days to clear it all up.”
