Only lower-likelihood flood risk is recorded in SW8: none of its 313 listed postcodes goes beyond the Low band. The SW8 postcode district covers Shaftesbury & Queenstown, Stockwell West & Larkhall, Clapham Town, Vauxhall, close to Westminster, Tower Pier, Merton, and surrounding villages in parts of Greater London and Surrey.
313 postcodes in the SW8 district appear in the Environment Agency's rivers-and-sea flood-risk dataset — worst bands: 313 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).
