The council has warned residents of a major road closure in Cookham following heavy rains at the weekend.
A section of the B4447 The Moor in Cookham is currently closed in both directions due to flooding.
A statement from the Royal Borough said the road will be reopened once the flood water levels recede and access to Cookham High Street is currently via Sutton Road.
A flood alert has also been put in place for the River Thames from Hurley to Cookham.
The Environment Agency said property flooding is not currently expected in the Hurley and Marlow areas.
The flood alert states: "River levels have risen on the River Thames in response to recent heavy rainfall. Therefore, flooding of low-lying land and roads is expected to continue today (Monday).
"Today (February 26) and tomorrow is forecast to be mainly dry with some light showers. River levels have stabilised and reached their peak; we anticipate levels will start to fall over the coming days.
"Avoid using low-lying footpaths near local watercourses."
