Snow lay in areas including Plumstead and New Cross Gate, while a thick blanket settled by 7am in Surrey, causing headaches for commuters heading to the capital. The Met Office has issued a yellow warning for ice and snow for London and a large band of southern England and Wales, which is in place until 9am tomorrow.
The coldest temperature of the year, minus 15.4C, was recorded at Kinbrace in the Scottish Highlands.
