'Snow event' in Clerkenwell

What the BBC mystifyingly termed today's 'snow event' has made Clerkenwell a strange, beautiful place.

Lapped in blankets of white, and lit by an eerie lilac light, it looked more like Moscow than EC1.

Every shop bar the hairdresser's was closed on Exmouth Market; The Crown was bursting at the seams all afternoon; people discovered their inner Anthony Gormley; and strangers were seen to smile at each other.

Heck. More snow, please.
