THESE stunning images scooped the top spots in our photographic competition to capture “hidden London”.
Federico Jimenez won the overall award after capturing Kensington Gardens during the heavy snowfall in February.
Venezuelan Jimenez, 30, a management consultant who lives in Bayswater, said it was the first time he had seen snow.
He said: “My wife and I were amazed. We wanted to go to the park because in Venezuela it does not snow. Luckily I took my camera.”
