Gatwick said: "Heavy fog is causing disruption to flights leading to delays and cancellations. Please check our flight information for live status updates or directly with your airline."

London City Airport advised: "Adverse weather continues to improve here at LCY however delays may occur, passengers are advised to contact airline for further flight info."

"It is also expected that poor visibility could affect some flights on Monday and customers are advised to check the status of their flight."
