London is set for a scorcher today with temperatures expected to hit a sweltering 30C so grab a pair of sunnies and head outside if you can handle the heat.

City workers look like they're mainly cooling down with a classic Mr Whippy topped with a 99 flake from a well placed ice cream van (cheaper than forking out £4 for Uber to deliver one).

Sun-soaked lunch spots are going to be at a premium so take inspiration from German holiday-makers and stake your claim early like these lot.
