The recent cold snap saw level depths of snow in central London of
7-8 cm from the late morning of the 28th until the thaw on the 3rd.
When I wonder did snow last lie in central London in March ? Does one
have to go back to 1947?!

I can remember a substantial amount lying in Central London one evening
in April. It was in the 1970s, most probably the late 1970s. I think it
was quite late in April, the 21st comes to mind but that may be
incorrect. It was quite a widespread event across SE England
