London bus grinds to a halt in snow

A double-decker London bus struggles up a hill.

A black cab taxi drives the wrong way down a snow-covered road.

And a vehicle belonging to a private taxi firm slides out of control.

A south-east London woman captured all of the above scenes today as blizzard conditions made driving hazardous throughout much of the UK.

According to the filmer, the car sliding down the hill was a vehicle operated by mini-cab firm Addison Lee.

The three incidents all took place this morning on the A2216 in Dog Kennel Hill, Dulwich, near the junction with Albrighton Road.

In the video, a woman can be heard saying: "He's slammed the brakes on completely and now he's just sliding down the hill, out of control."

The ongoing polar vortex known as the "Beast from the East" is still affecting much of the UK, causing numerous traffic and travel delays, as well as isolating rural communities.
