An interactive flood map indicates that parts of south east London, including areas like Greenwich, Rotherhithe, and Dartford, could be underwater due to rising sea levels by 2030. This map, developed by Climate Central, uses flood projections to identify vulnerable areas at risk of severe flooding. As extreme weather events increase in frequency, it's projected that the floodwaters could impact locations near the River Thames, raising alarms for nearly all communities along its bank. Areas highlighted in the warning zone include Greenwich Peninsula, Deptford, and Woolwich, among others in the region.
