From impromptu buys online for fans, to seeking out a much-needed shaded spot in a park, Brits are finding ways to escape the heat.

The hot weather is expected to peak on Saturday with temperatures of 34°C, below the June record of 35.6°C in 1976.

The London Fire Brigade has also now had to issue a wildfire warning for the capital, with the brigade urging Londoners to take steps to prevent the risk of wildfires spreading.
