Does E5 flood?

Yes — parts of the E5 district carry real flood risk: 1 of its 87 at-risk postcodes reach the Environment Agency's High likelihood band. The E5 postcode district covers King's Park, Lea Bridge, Springfield, close to Stoke Newington, Walthamstow, Wanstead, and surrounding villages in parts of Greater London and Essex.

87 postcodes in the E5 district appear in the Environment Agency's rivers-and-sea flood-risk dataset — worst bands: 1 high, 3 medium, 12 low, 71 very low. A postcode not listed here has no properties in any recorded risk band (which is good news, but never proof it cannot flood).
