Does SE5 flood?

Only lower-likelihood flood risk is recorded in SE5: none of its 92 listed postcodes goes beyond the Low band. The SE5 postcode district covers St Giles, Camberwell Green, Faraday, Old Kent Road, close to Tower Pier, Westminster, Catford, and surrounding villages in Greater London.

92 postcodes in the SE5 district appear in the Environment Agency's rivers-and-sea flood-risk dataset — worst bands: 92 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).
