Flood gates still exist on the LUL South Ken to Sloane Square being one place Yeah, sure, but take a look them and you see that most/all clearly haven't been moved for decades. The ones in the cross-passageways at Leicester Square got tiled over lat last year. There are the 1939/40-vintage ones at the ends of the Northern & Bakerloo platforms at Waterloo, but are they actually still capable of being closed?
