London? Shouldnt you be looking in Gloucester? Just don't go there in a shower of rain.

The Met office has the forecast at 8 degrees for the next week. Hardly Moscow. But yes, our fuel oil usage is the highest since we moved to this house (4th winter). Up til now the November fill-up has lasted till April. We've got a week left, the tanker is due on Friday. £650 a pop.

Would the currently successful Land Rover/Range Rover factory based there have an effect?
