This may not be a good time to be walking the Thames Path as there are numerous reports of flooding and public transport is disrupted.
A severe flood warning has been issued by the Environment Agency in the Oxford area between Kennington and upstream Eynsham.
There are also 17 flood warnings from as far east as Teddington. Tributaries in the Upper Thames are reported to be at flood level which means that the River Thames is likely to see further flooding.
Two roads in Oxford were closed this morning.
Walkers should remember that swimming can be dangerous in fast moving water and the Thames in flood can be very dangerous.
At Maidenhead water is being diverted into the recently dug Jubilee River which rejoins the Thames opposite Windsor’s Home Park.
