THE GREAT FLOOD OF CRICKLEWOOD

[@kawaiimarshmallow1831]

I love how British people don’t care they help each other and know each other and there community

[@denzel9086]

20 years ago from comments here... damn North West London in the early 2000s was a blessing and curse for many reasons. I knew it about growing up in Neasden...

[@MichaelKeogh-si2mn]

I remember it like yesterday, we were in the welcome in pub Cricklewood lane, drinking pints having a laugh great day good memories 😊😊❤

[@cultcollectiblemerchandise5364]

I know that guy at the 7 min mark who helps the man and woman with the buggy. I use to work with him years ago, he's a senior staff nurse in a central London hospital. Very nice fella but very quiet. Loved a smoke!

The date of this is almost certainly before 2005. In fact it would be before 2003, probably in 2002 as others have said. Many years before this (back in the 1990s possibly) there was also a very similar flood where the Cricklewood Lane bridge was similarly flooded. On that earlier occasion, I remember that the Routemaster buses were able to get through it successfully due to high mounted engines. I recall seeing a Routemaster making it through with water pouring out of the passenger compartment door as it came out. The passengers on the ground floor had all lifted their feet up or climbed onto the seats.

Ye I remember but I think it was 1989

[@mikedavies395]

I remember the one in 2001 or 2002, I was living in Cricklewood Lane at the time. Happy days.....

[@mudkipdan]

I don't remember a flood in Cricklewood for 2005, but I do remember we had one at around August 2002. Didn't think it was that bad, as I live near the red rail bridge, and was in some summer playscheme at the time of the incident (I was just 13 years old).

[@americansarebeggers8472]

i love the song, its realy catchy

[@magsmaggie]

I swam through past the bus, Wickes uniform ruined, was on the mirror front page next day. It was up to my neck.. Good community spirit though, spoke to ppl I would usually walk right past.

[@Noname-fk8ro]

I remember that day, it was raining so much and Everywhere was flooded! I had to ditch my car and swim home. They’re was a huge whale which got washed up aswell. It was just so amazing. To top it all off towards the Edgware Road there was a family of dolphins who swam past me. Such beautiful memories.

[@simonjones7727]

No matter howmuch rain falls in Bretain -British people are capable of managing good and trouble-free life

[@Jizzlewobbwtfcus]

And yet we get one leaf on a train track and the trains come to a halt lol

[@Michelle_Schu-blacka]

*1.* I don't remember this. *2.* Had to put a song over it for no reason so you can't hear what's happening. *3.* 1:30 - Every bearing on that bike is knackered.
