- Officers kicked off their days by having a playful snowball fight in Notting Hill
- Policemen were filmed by a resident from their window as they cavorted around
- Comes as swathes of Britain are blanketed in deep snow by ‘Beast from the East’
Two playful police officers have been filmed hurling snowballs at each other in London car park.
Instead of bemoaning the wintry onslaught of the ‘Beast from the East’, the two policemen made the most of the snowy weather.
Much like schoolchildren, the officers take a break from their usual duties as they gather up clumps of the white stuff and cavort around the snow-covered car park in Notting Hill.
‘Special training!’ a voice can be heard saying in the video.

Forecasters have warned of up to 1ft 5in (40cm) of snow falling in the area, roads becoming blocked, long delays on buses and trains and some communities being cut off for ‘several days’ along with ‘long’ power cuts.
The Met Office definition of a red warning is that ‘you should take action now to keep yourself and others safe from the impact of the weather’ and that widespread damage, travel and power disruption and risk to life is likely’.
Forecasters have also warned of strong winds hitting the country tomorrow along with freezing rain from the afternoon, which will create black ice and impact the evening rush hour – including in London.
