The only GPS jamming briefed for the UK at the moment is in the Hebrides ranges. So if you’re in Scotland you could be seeing the effects, otherwise it’ll just be poor due to atmospherics/buildings.
Yep, I've seen it happen, it is entirely possible to deny GPS signals over a specified geographical area, either by the operator of the satellite constellation or any suitably equipped military.[\QUOTE]
All you need is a wide band RF signal generator, a RF amplifier and a decent antenna.
I don't really see the point in doing it.
People can still find their way around without satnavs.
I don't think the threat comes from people using satnav, rather somebody using a drone or something similar as a weapon.
Actually, thinking about it, if they did actually jam the GPS over London, it would play hell with the airspace for all the London airports. So I doubt they did it.

I seem to remember the system designers being worried about the Russians using to enhance the accuracy of their MIRVs, but by the time GPS was completely deployed, they realised that a thousand metre error meant little when applied to megaton warheads.
