The Beast from the East has brought such chilly weather that London’s busiest canal has FROZEN.
Famous Regents Canal was so iced over that snow had begun to settle on the waterway – leaving it looking like tarmac.
The nine-mile-long north London waterway was coated in ice and snow thanks to the big freeze – and people have even begun speculating whether it is possible to ice-skate on it.
Twitter user Orpheuscat said: “Looking at the frozen regents canal and wondering if anyone has ever skated to Kings Cross from Angel?”
Since you are here
Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.
Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.
Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
