A passenger coming in to land at Heathrow at around 9:50pm on Sunday filmed the view over Southall. A thick over the streets, and you can see fireworks flashing through it, lighting up the mist from underneath as the plane glides over.

Down on the ground it was foggy and packed. From up there, it looks like the whole town is glowing πŸͺ”

When you've been stuck on the M4 so long you start interviewing the other drivers 😭

πŸ’³ Save across West London with the UB1UB2 Card: 180+ offers at local spots. Link in bio.

Traffic on the M4 just before the Heathrow and Uxbridge exit has been at a complete standstill for lf tonight. With nowhere to go, people have started getting out of their cars and chatting in the lanes, and one driver started asking everyone in the queue about their favourite holiday destination.

The air is thick with fog and what looks like smoke, and there are blue lights up ahead. One driver can be heard saying there's a fire further along, but the cause hasn't been confirmed yet.

If you're heading that way, check National Highways or your maps app before you set off, and stay with your car if traffic could start moving again.

Who would you want stuck in the next car? πŸ‘‡

Barely a car length of visibility. The person who sent this says it was Uxbridge Road in Hayes at around ember, a few hours after the Diwali fireworks. A police car with its blue lights on is out in front, traffic creeps along behind it, and people on the pavement fade in and out of the haze.

The sender says officers were escorting drivers through. From the clip alone, we can't tell if that's what was happening. No official word yet on whether police were guiding traffic. If that changes, we'll update this post.

If you're out in conditions like this, use dipped headlights or fog lights. Leave a much bigger gap than usual and keep your speed right down.

Did you end up tailing someone just to find your way home? πŸ‘‡

Cars crawl out of the fog one at a time while people on foot wave s to show drivers where the lane is. This was The Parkway heading towards the M4 junction in Cranford, at around 12:00am on Monday 9 November. One of them reckons they've basically built a runway. Fair enough, given the neighbours.

Fair play to them. But if it's like this again, slow right down, use dipped headlights, put your fog lights on if you can barely see ahead, and stay off the carriageway on foot.

The Met Office put a yellow fog warning on London from 6pm on Sunday 8 November until er. It said visibility could drop to around 50 metres or less in places.

Hayes looked about right for that. A figure walks out ahead of a car's headlights, with the road markings only just showing underneath. The person who sent it says this was Hayes town on Sunday 8 November at around 11:50pm. Keep watching.

If you're walking in fog like this, wear something light and cross where drivers can actually see you. Drivers: dipped headlights, fog lights on and plenty of space.

The Met Office had a yellow fog warning in place across London from 6pm on Sunday 8 November November, with visibility down to 50 metres or less in places.

Someone walks out in front of the headlights holding a light up, and then the fog swallows them whole. This was King Street in Southall on Sunday 8 November at around 11:50pm. The person who sent it says local men and boys were out guiding cars through it.

If you’re driving in it, use dipped headlights, put your fog lights on if you can’t see 100 metres ahead, and leave a big gap. If you’re on foot, stay on the pavement where you can.

Cars on the A40 in Hayes were popping out of the fog a few metres away and disappearing again just as fast 😳

The person who sent this says it's the A40 in Hayes, filmed on Sunday 8 November at around 11:10pm. You can just about make out taillights ahead and headlights coming the other way. Everyone's crawling.

Diwali on Southall Broadway: plenty of noise, not a lot of view 😭

Not on the UB1UB2 Card yet? It's Β£3 a month for discounts at 180+ local spots πŸ‘‰ link in our bio

The Met Office had a yellow fog warning out for London from 6pm on Sunday to 11am on Monday, with visibility und 50 metres or less in some places.

This was The Broadway in Southall on Sunday night (8 November), at around 11:45pm. Footage sent in from a window above the street shows headlights crawling past the bus stop while groups of people stay out on the pavement. Somebody in there is still having a great time. The person who sent it calls it fog, but on Diwali night you'd guess some of that haze was firework smoke too.

If you're driving home through it, use dipped headlights and take it slow.

This was South Ruislip at around 11:30pm on Sunday 8 November. The person filming reckons the traffic was doing about 2mph. Watch the headlights and you'll see why. The person who sent it in also says fireworks smoke made it even thicker.

If you're out in fog like this, use dipped headlights, turn your fog lights on when you can't see far, and leave a much bigger gap than you think you need. Don't walk in the road to direct traffic.

The Met Office had a yellow fog warning out for Greater London from 6pm on 11am on Monday 9 November. It said visibility could drop to around 50 metres or less in places.

This was filmed from a balcony high up in a block of flats on Sunday 8 November at around 10:35pm. Past the railings, you can just about make out the lit windows and string lights on the building next door. Look down, though, and the ground has pretty much disappeared.

Out early on Monday 9 November? Give yourself extra time and use dipped headlights. Only put your fog lights on if you can't see more than 100 metres ahead, and switch them off once it clears.

Blue lights on the windscreen, brake lights in the murk, and nobody moving an inch 😳 This was the M4 near Hounslow.

The clip was filmed on the westbound side towards Slough on Sunday 8 November at around 11:30pm. Cars sit at a complete standstill across the lanes, all wrapped mergency vehicle and its blue lights parked among the queue up ahead. The person who sent it says they'd been stuck in the same spot for about half an hour and think there may have been a crash.

In one clip, a fire engine with its blue lights on edges past traffic that’s barely moving. There’s no word on where it was heading.

If it’s like this again, use dipped headlights and leave a much bigger gap than usual. Switch your fog lights on when you can’t see much more than 100 metres ahead, and remember to turn them off once it clears.

The person who sent this in calls it a total blackout. Fair enough. Filmed at around 10:35pm, it shows parked cars only appearing when they're a few metres away and a 20mph sign barely making it through the grey, while fireworks bang away somewhere you can't see.

Fog, firework smoke or both, nobody can say for sure. If you're out before the warning lifts, slow right down, use dipped headlights and wear something bright if you're on foot.

Botwell Lane in Hayes, apparently. We'll have to take their word for it πŸ‘€

The Met Office had a yellow fog warning in place across Greater London from 6pm on Sunday 8 November until 11am on Monday 9 November, with visibility down to around 50 metres or less in places.

"Zero person who sent this in described it, and it's hard to argue. It was filmed from a car creeping along Botwell Lane on Sunday 8 November at around 10:45pm. The headlights hit a white wall just past the bonnet, and the orange street lights overhead barely make a dent.

If you're driving before it clears, slow right down, leave a big gap and check your fog lights work before you set off.

The street lamps are on, and they're lighting up precisely nothing 😳

This was Southall on Sunday 8 November at around 10:55pm, with fireworks popping away somewhere in the murk. Footage sent in shows a wall of grey where the street should be. Then a pair of headlights turns up, on says it all.

Whether it's proper fog, firework smoke hanging about, or a bit of both, you can barely see past the end of your own arm. If you're driving through Southall late, slow right down, use dipped headlights and leave a big gap. Fog lights are for when you can see less than 100 metres, so switch them off when it clears.

Footage sent in shows traffic crawling along Bath Road in Hounslow towards the on Sunday 8 November. The fog was so thick that cars coming the other way only showed up a few metres out. Road signs barely made it through either.

"The Parkway roundabout, can't see nothing." Fair summary.

The Met Office put a yellow warning for dense fog in place across London and southern England vember, according to The Guardian, with delays to buses and trains possible.

Footage sent in shows double-deckers parked up one behind the other in thick fog, a 222 to Uxbridge among them, with people waiting along the pavement. This was Bath Road at Hounslow West on Sunday 8 November at around 10:30pm. The person who sent it says bus services stopped because of the fog.

Whether services were officially suspended or just badly held up isn't clear yet. We'll update with anything official.
