AFC Wimbledon and Newcastle's Carabao Cup third-round meeting on Tuesday has been called off due to "extensive overnight flooding" at the Cherry Red Records Stadium.
The Dons' stadium, which also appears to have a sinkhole in the pitch, is now closed as a result, with a rescheduled date for the tie yet to be confirmed.
London Fire Brigade said its 999 control officers have taken around 350 calls to flooding across the capital on Monday.
Firefighters have attended incidents in areas such as Ruislip, Uxbridge, Wimbledon and Carshalton.
The service said these included rescuing people trapped in cars, assisting people from their homes and responding to flooding in underground stations, roadways, residences and commercial properties.
