Description: A tidal surge stormed up the Thames in 1928, filling the moat at the Tower

Of London and flooding Westminster, where 11 died. To show what

happened, the Topical Budget built a relief model of central London, with

bridges and major landmarks clearly signposted, and filmed it from above.

Water washes in east-to-west, while captions explain what damage

occurred at each location. The film ends with footage of the record high-

water mark on a wall in Kew.
