Eagle-eyed Londoners had their cameras at the ready as the capital woke to widespread frost caused by freezing temperatures.

Amateur photographers celebrated the wintry conditions on social media by sharing stunning images taken from London’s parks on Tuesday morning.

Many said the frost was the first they had seen in parks following plummeting temperatures that have seen the capital gripped by a cold snap.

Workers captured the “beautiful” scenes in Bushy Park, Richmond Park, Brockwell Park and Regent’s Park.

One woman wrote: “A walk before work. A beautiful frost in Bushy Park.”

While Dawn Goodwin uploaded her image, also taken in Bushy Park, to Instagram captioned: “Beautifully frosty #winter.”

Joanna Mills wrote: “First frost of the winter in #RichmondPark. Beautiful .”

And Andrew Neather tweeted: “A beautiful, crisp morning in #HerneHill: first proper frost of the season in Brockwell Park.”

While another man wrote: “First frost in Regent's Park.”

Mudchute Farm posted on its Twitter page: “What a #frost this morning! Our lower field turned white and ponds froze overnight!”

It comes as forecasters predicted another sharp frost overnight as temperatures plunge to as low as -6C in some parts of the south east.

Public Health England issued a health warning in light of the cold snap as it urged people to be prepared.

Dr Angie Bone, from the extreme events team at Public Health England, said: "Cold does kill, even in places where the temperatures are not at their lowest.

"Now is the time to prepare for the cold weather forecast by the Met Office, and to think of those you know who are older, very young, or have pre-existing health conditions who are particularly vulnerable."

Andy Page, chief operational meterologist at the Met Office, said slightly warmer conditions are set to arrive across northern England but clear skies in the south may see the cold weather persist.

He said: “From Wednesday onwards cloudier and slightly less cold conditions will arrive across northern England, therefore overnight frosts will become fewer and less severe in the north but cold weather may persist across the south where skies remain clearer.

“Looking ahead into December and beyond, there are indications that a cold start to winter is more likely than normal, but this doesn’t guarantee snow nor does it mean we won’t see spells of mild and wet weather at times."
