only a smattering of snow in Holborn just down the road from St P...not settling on the roads but is on trees and grass in Lincoln's Inn field

Hyde Park area is slushy and damp, probably worse later as all the snow fall is melting as it hits the ground..

Am next door to King's X, therefore two doors down from St P's - and it's snowing but not settling, pavements wet but not slushy. It's miserable but nothing serious.

Public transport - can't comment, but London folks being the total wimps they are will no doubt start running home to Mummy from about 4pm

It's fine, Winter Wonderland in Hyde Park looks rather pretty. Hopefully it'll stay around 1 degree so it doesn't all turn to black slush.

roger_merriman

probably be worse tomorrow am as the wet snow will likely freeze over night.

Lots of snow coming down atm. Wet and slushy affair.

Public transport is sh1te. Not commenting specifically on today, just generally. Guess who was on the train this morning? :evil:

Yep, my trains (SouthEastern) were rubbish this morning but because of a signal problem and a fatality, rather than snow.

Sitting in an office in central London now - snow still coming down but not settling.

Winter Wonderland is a good approximation of a good European Christmas Market but I did find it a bit overpriced (I guess that's London for you).

south eastern is the main reason I took the bike this morning. even without the fatality there's always 'signal' problems the first sign of anything that isn't blue skies and sunshine and they seem to be the first operator to give up on running services when the snow falls.

they made last years winter commute miserable and I only travelled from greenwich to charing cross (4 stops).

Yep, I'm on South Eastern. Severe service disruption due to staff still in bed methinks.
