A thick fog has been pictured blanketing London as the cold snap hitting the UK continues.

The aerial photographs show a thick line of mist with buildings in Canary Wharf poking out above the skyline.

Richard Clarke, from Godalming in Surrey, took the picture from a plane as he flew from New York to London Heathrow on Wednesday morning.

Reduced visibility has caused travel disruptions leaving dozens of flights delayed or cancelled on Wednesday.

London City Airport warned its passengers to check their flights before arriving after the Met Office issued a yellow fog warning. 

Overnight temperatures have reached as low as -4C, with another sharp frost to come in southern areas from Thursday into Friday.
