Thick fog shrouded most of London this morning, with visibility less than 50 metres in some places.
Heathrow Airport was forced to cancel 40 flights due to the dense fog and London City Airport saw delays and cancellations to almost all flights.
The city’s familiar landscape was almost invisible among the haze which was captured by many Londoners on their morning commute. Here are some of the best:

Of course, foggy weather is not unusual to London and if Twitter had existed in 1904 Monet might have been Instagramming rather than painting this remarkably similar work Sun Breaking Through the Fog.
