And what is the traffic like? As we are thinking of recheduling a visit that we had to postpone on Monday and really need to do this week if possible.

It’s quite cold and some pavements are a bit icy still, otherwise fine. I wouldn’t be put off a visit!

It's fine. Some patches of ice on the pavement. Traffic as shit as ever.

There are 4 days of train strikes so traffic could be a bit heavier than usual,depends on the times you’re driving I guess.

It's not snowing but the snow from earlier in the week hasn't melted where I am, so still several inches where it hasn't been disturbed - lots of snowy, icy pavements. Roads mostly clear. Based purely on what the sky looks like right now I would say it's going to be a beautiful day, if you don't mind freezing temperatures and have the right footwear

Weather is around 1 degree - so cold but not freezing! Yesterday walking around central London fine. Some parts of the (south) suburbs have a small residue of snow/ice on some paths (but not on the roads). As above traffic as shit as ever! Monday public transport was worse than Tuesday!! I’m back in town on Friday (and yes I know it’s a train strike day - but tube and buses will be running). Not sure if that helps!

I'd avoid visiting during a week of rail strikes to be honest.

Still plenty of ice and snow on roads and pavements in north London. It was -2 when I left home at 06.45 this morning, but traffic was lighter than usual if anything (no doubt anyone sensible lingered a bit longer under the duvet). @ConnieSaks be aware that the Abellio bus strike is still on for Friday and Saturday, with affected routes listed here: tfl.gov.uk/campaign/strikes.

@Sophiste - many thanks but I’m actually going via ginger line and tube so not bus dependent 😊
