The latest predictions are for warmer and drier summers, and wetter winters, with appreciable changes anticipated by the 2020s. Areas of high fluvial flood risk include Catford, Ladywell, Lewisham High Street and Lee Green. Except for Lee Green, the flooding is associated with the confluences of the River Pool and Ravensbourne and the River Quaggy and Ravensbourne respectively. It is important to note that the extensive area of fluvial flooding in the north of the Borough is a modelled from data based on an undefended 1 in 100 year flood event which is very unlikely to occur due to protection provided by the Thames Barrier. Approximately 1,300 LBL buildings have been identified at risk of fluvial flooding. - Social Vulnerability to impacts of Climate Change, report, 2014Expected impact of climate change on flooding:•Fluvial flooding - Changing rainfall patterns are likely to increase peak river flows, thereby resulting in higher levels of fluvial flood risk from the Main Rivers across the north of the Borough.

Westminster sits on the north bank of the Tidal River Thames and is therefore potentially susceptible to both tidal and fluvial flooding. Current guidance from the Environment Agency suggests that extreme rainfall intensity is likely to increase by between 20% and 40% over the next 100 years, which will increase the risk of flooding to Westminster from the River Thames. At present, Westminster has 4.7km of tidal Thames frontage, all of which has good protection against flooding by the Embankment wall. The Thames Barrier (downstream at Woolwich), and the associated Thames Tidal Flood Defences provide a 1 in 1000 year standard of protection (a 0.1% annual probability of failure) up to the year 2030.However, were the Thames flood defences to fail completely, this would result in extensive damage along Westminster’s north bank, with some areas inundated within 30 minutes. Flood Zone 3 is the area most at risk from flooding were the Thames flood defences to fail. This area comprises a substantial part of Westminster (14%) including Pimlico and Millbank, which contain well established residential communities and associated services, including shops and schools, and Victoria and Whitehall, which have a more commercial and governmental mixed use character respectively. We have not calculated exactly how much damage would be caused in Westminster by a breach of the Thames flood barriers. However, we can infer the level of damage from the last major flooding events in Westminster, when on January 6th 1928, a tidal surge, at high tide, came up the River Thames Estuary, resulting in the flood defence walls and embankments of the time being overtopped. This resulted in 14 fatalities in Westminster, most of which occurred in basement dwellings in Millbank.Environment Agency data shows the Thames Barrier has been closed 173 times to prevent flooding in its history up to 2014, with over 50 of the closures in the winter of 2013/14. Due to the predicted rise in sea level and increase in peak river flows as a result of climate change, closure of the barrier is likely to become more common. The Environment Agency has indicated that if the barrier is closed 50 times a year on average or more, new tidal flood defences for the Thames Estuary will need to be put in place.

Due to the highly built-up nature of Westminster and its limited drainage capacity, surface water flooding is the most likely cause of flooding within Westminster.Approximately 22,100 properties in Westminster are estimated to be at risk from surface water flooding during a rainfall event with a 1 in 200 annual chance of occurring. Predicted increased frequency and intensity of rainfall in the future may increase the risk of flooding, which will be compounded by increased urban intensification and few surfaces able to slow down or absorb rainfall. Westminster will need to ensure sustainable flood risk management measures are in place to improve resistance and increase resilience to flood risk.Current guidance from the Environment Agency suggests that extreme rainfall intensity is likely to increase by between 20% and 40% over the next 100 years, which will increase the risk of surface flooding in Westminster. The Westminster Initial Assessments study has considered the impact of climate change on surface water flood risk. This has been assessed for a 20% and 40% increase in peak rainfall intensity and for the next 100 years. The study shows that in the event of a 1 in 100 rainfall taking place, some parts of Westminster could be flooded to a depth of more than 1.5 metres.Parts of north Westminster recently experienced the effects of major surface flooding. On 12 July 2021, three inches of rain fell across parts of London in 90 minutes, causing severe surface and sewer flooding, evacuations and property damage. Investigations are ongoing into the failure of surface water flood defences which had recently been installed.

This type of flooding is likely to occur in low-lying areas which are underlain by permeable rock (aquifers). The risk of groundwater flooding in Westminster is considered to be low. However Westminster sits above a regional chalk aquifer covered with gravels and clay. Chalk shows some of the largest seasonal variations in groundwater levels, and it is the most extensive source of groundwater. Water that starts as groundwater can flow into rivers and drainage networks, resulting in flooding from rivers and surface water.Underground development is common in Westminster and there are a number of underground stations and basements that require pumps to remove excess groundwater to prevent flooding. Modelling indicates that elevated groundwater from permeable superficial soils are located around Marylebone, St James Park and Belgravia with sporadic pockets towards the southern end of the borough. Current guidance from the Environment Agency suggests that extreme rainfall intensity is likely to increase by between 20% and 40% over the next 100 years. Like other forms of flooding, groundwater flooding is affected by increased levels of rainfall. Westminster will therefore need to continually monitor the situation for areas at risk of groundwater flooding, especially basements and underground stations in the south of the borough.

Even if global temperature increases are limited to 2°C or less, there are projected to be high magnitude impacts for the UK. The number of heat-related deaths in the UK are projected to increase by around 250% by the 2050s (median estimate), due to climate change, population growth and ageing, from a current annual baseline of around 2,000 heat-related deaths per year. Focusing on London, climate projections show that London will experience warmer, wetter winters and hotter, drier summers. As a city, London is particularly vulnerable to heatwaves due to the Urban Heat Island effect. This is a phenomenon which describes the increased temperature of urban spaces compared to rural ones, which can mean a 10˚C difference between London and its surroundings. This is due to the fact the urban landscapes absorb and trap heat more than others (e.g. through buildings, roads). The type of building stock can contribute to enhancing heat, especially with less insulated buildings which is often the case in inner London, including in Westminster (with many buildings predating the 20th century). During the summer heatwave of 2003, differences of up to 10°C between city and rural temperatures were measured in London, with the highest levels of heat recorded in the central London boroughs. In 2003, 600 (mainly elderly) people died in the London heatwave. London had the highest number of deaths in the country but not the highest temperatures. In 2016, there were three extreme heat days with temperatures over 30C.Westminster will be heavily impacted by any increases in the duration, intensity and frequency of heatwaves. For instance, in July 2018, Westminster Council activated the Severe Weather Emergency Protocol to launch an emergency response to support people sleeping rough in the borough during a heatwave when temperatures reached as high as 35 degrees Celsius. This action is likely to be required more often as hot summers become more frequent.
