Quite impressive. Below freezing widely in SE and Central Southern England (eg -2 in Wokingham) but + 6.7 deg as I arrived at work on Fleet Street just after 0800.
I'm 7.2 miles as the crow flies east from Fleet Street and it was -1.3C before the temp began rising at 0658z. I ride in most days and it always amazes me the difference in just a few miles.

There's an awful lot of underground passages and sewers under the streets of London.
These unquestionably contribute to the UHI.
May be accounting for 3 Degrees according to Will's weekday/weekend figures.
A good PhD (Piled high and Deep) topic for some geographer if you ask me.
