Hapless drivers found their cars submerged in water after parking them near pubs. Motorists left their motors too close to a tidal part of the River Thames.

Seven cars were found under water outside the Barmy Arms boozer. They included a BMW, a BMW and a Honda.

A Toyota Aygo was also half submerged. A BMW was seen with water in the driver footwell and grubby seats.

A spokesperson for the Barmy Arms, in Twickenham, south London said: “This is the devastation of a car from the high tide.

“Do not park on The Embankment or the surrounding area. We are in high tide season folks.

“Do be cautious when parking.” It was a similar situation in Richmond outside The White Cross pub on Sunday (7 Dec) at 4pm, as reported on What's The Jam.

A red car outside the venue was half under water and a wheelie bin was on its side. Local Anneliese Hesse said: “This is how and where my last car died.”
