The Prime Minister was met with heckles of “traitor” as he arrived in Worcestershire to visit ongoing efforts to tackle flooding.
Boris Johnson arrived on the banks of the River Severn in Bewdley on Sunday afternoon, and was taken to view the still-erected flood defences by Environment Agency staff.
The town has been overwhelmed by flood water in recent weeks and properties and businesses have been inundated with water.
Last month was the wettest February on record for the United Kingdom, with a succession of storms bringing widespread flooding to many areas.
Mr Johnson was repeatedly criticised by opposition politicians at the height of the flooding for not visiting affected communities.
Television footage showed one man shouting "Traitor!" at the prime minister.
Some residents said they were happy that he had now visited.
"There is no water here but you can still see the effects," local resident Paul Smith, whose home was flooded, told Sky News. "We are just glad to see him here eventually."
The finance ministry said on Saturday said it would use Wednesday's budget statement to set out a doubling of spending on flood defences to 5.2 billion pounds
