As London is swept by a heatwave, the "Cool Cab", a refrigerated hackney carriage, has offered passengers the "coolest" ride in the city.

It has a number of features designed to keep passengers cool, including an interior cooled by dry ice, a freezer stocked with ice pops and a state-of-the-art air conditioning system.

The freezer on wheels is running for a limited time, but has proved popular with passengers and could be considered for full-time operation across the summer months in the future.
