London residents face historic landslide threat
London residents are facing historic levels of land subsidence risk caused by five consecutive heatwaves that have dried out the clay soil on which large parts of the city are built. The hot, dry weather has led to soil shrinkage and foundation instability, resulting in an unprecedented surge in insurance claims for this hazard in the last quarter, with average claims reaching approximately £20,000 (around $27,200), a 15% increase compared to the same period in 2025. Insurance associations expect these trends to continue due to the ongoing and frequent hot weather.
