"all-time" being since the end of the little ice age around 1650.
Or more precisely, since temperatures have been methodically
recorded within the urban heat island of London. Which is around
1850.

You should note that the Thames was frozen over for 14 weeks in 1063
and 1076. Later from London Bridge to Gravesend from November 1434
through to the following February. In 1515, the ice on the river was
trafficable and the cold continued for a long number of winters;
with thefirst Frost Fair recorded in 1564.

In 1683, severe frosts in London killed plant and animal life. But
it didn't end there: In the winter of 1739-40, another great frost
was recorded; a great inconvenience and hazard to shipping
downstream of the Bridge; and once again a winter playground/market
place upstream.

In 1814, ice floes were carried downstream, crashing into bridges on
the way.

Now; you're worried that it's warmer than what it was during an "ice
age"?

Temperature records start after the above events.

Since temperatures were recorded... i.e. very recently.

We've had 4 fore-warnings of ice-age or catastrophic warming since
1980 or thereabouts.

If you have a rational argument based on real-world facts and not
fantasies, then do continue.
