On the day when the British vote in a referendum on staying or leaving the EU, southeast of England was hit by torrential rains that caused flooding in the streets, traffic disruption and closing of two polling stations in London.
Southwest of London two polling stations in the neighborhood Kingston upon Thames have been moved to other locations due to flooding in that area.
Heavy rain caused problems in the work of the London subway and railway network in the suburbs.
