Flooding in Petersham Lodge Woods

Petersham Lodge Woods often floods though I have not often seen it as flooded as this. Previous flooding had mostly been on the west side of the central path but this time the flooding was throughout the woods and the central path was impassable.

This is the view looking across the woods from River Lane. It was taken from the pavement and shows how far the waters had spread. It also shows how few trees there are in that quadrant of the woods.
