LONDON—Hundreds
of homes have flooded and hundreds more are at risk to the west of London after
the River Thames burst its banks on Monday as England continued to suffer from
one of the wettest winters in more than two centuries, authorities said.
With waters
predicted to rise further this week, Prime Minister David Cameron said the
government would do all it could to assist those affected as he visited
flood-hit areas in the southwest of England .
