The scoops will also be available at cinemas in Walthamstow, Barking and Dagenham and White City.

However, the popular ice cream brand may have chosen the wrong day to hook new customers. The Met Office expects cloudy weather and temperatures to peak at 12 degrees in the capital.

“We’re nothing without our fans,” said Ben and Jerry chief executive Matthew McCarthy. “This is one of our favourite days of the year. It’s a special tradition that’s all about showing the love for our flavour fans the best way that we know how.”
