swimming in Shepperton

Life imitates Ballard, forces him out of own house:

In 1962 JG Ballard wrote The Drowned World, a fictional account of a flooded London, "a garbage filled swamp". This week London has been under flood alert, with the water full of human sewage and bacteria.

Coincidentally, Ballard's own street in Shepperton is under threat, and the Environmental Agency has been advising residents to prepare for possible evacuation.
