The Lower River Roding is on flood alert, with the Environment Agency reporting that low lying land, roads and gardens next to the river are likely to flood.
Areas which could affected include Wanstead, Ilford, South Woodford, Woodford Green, East Ham and Barking.
Some showers are expected later today, which may cause the river to rise further.
