Does IG11 0EQ flood?

London, Greater London

Up to Low likelihood

Properties in IG11 0EQ sit in the Environment Agency's Low flood-likelihood band (worst property). The band is the worst found in the postcode — it describes the land around properties (defence-adjusted, rivers & sea), not any single address, and not today's conditions.

Likelihood bandAnnual chancePropertiesOf which homes
Highgreater than 3.3%00
Medium1% – 3.3%00
Low0.1% – 1%290
Very lowbelow 0.1%30

Over a 25-year mortgage, a property in a low-likelihood area has a 2–22% chance of flooding at least once.

How much rain falls on IG11 0EQ

IG11 0EQ gets about 578 mm of rain a year on average (wettest month October, 63 mm; driest March, 34 mm). That is 50% drier than the UK as a whole, which averages 1,163 mm a year.

A thirty-year average for the surrounding area, not a measurement at this address and not a flood risk on its own: a dry area floods when a storm sits over it, and a wet one may drain away perfectly well.

The watercourse nearest IG11 0EQ

The nearest watercourse on the river map is Warpools Reach (River Roding) (tidal here), about 450 m from the centre of IG11 0EQ. It flows into the River Thames (Buzzards Mouth Sewer) about 350 m downstream.

A gauge downstream shows water that has already passed this point; one upstream sees it first. Distances along the river are from the point on Warpools Reach (River Roding) nearest the centre of IG11 0EQ. From Ordnance Survey’s river map (OS Open Rivers), which leaves out small streams, ditches and culverts, so a nearer one may exist. This describes where water goes on the map; it says nothing about flooding at any address. Contains OS data © Crown copyright and database rights 2026.
