Snow has finally arrived in the capital as frenzied commuters capture the fall during rush hour.

After a day of heavy rain, forecasters' predictions of snow burst into reality as flakes began to fall in place of rain this evening.

The sight of a white downpour has both delighted and horrified Londoners, with many anticipating delays in their journeys home.

But there was also concern over the tubes experiencing difficulty in running as normal.
