But winter's coming! Game Of Thrones star Kit Harington is without his coat as he steps out in London... after penultimate season of HBO show reaches its thrilling climax
His Game of Thrones character is braced for war on two fronts as the Army of the Dead advance from the frozen north, while Queen Cersei hatches a treacherous plan from her southern realm of King’s Landing.
But while winter is undoubtedly coming, Kit Harington was without his jacket as he stepped out in rather more favourable surroundings on Wednesday afternoon.
The 30-year old actor, rugged warden of the north Jon Snow in the HBO show, looked relaxed as he took a stroll in leafy north London.

Winter's coming: Game Of Thrones star Kit Harington was far from the Wall – or at last what’s left of it – as he stepped out in rather more favourable surroundings on Wednesday afternoon
Sporting a casual blue sweater and skinny jeans teamed with stylish brown leather brogue boots, Kit was far removed from his grizzled appearance as the hugely popular character.
Completing his look with clear lens glasses and an old-fashioned flat cap, Kit was clearly enjoying some quality time away from work after Game Of Thrones' penultimate seventh series reached its dramatic climax.
As always, the actor's trademark facial hair and tousled brown locks were evident as he puffed on a cigarette and listened to music while venturing out for a walk.

Despite Snow's enormous popularity, Kit recently claimed that most modern people would be completely turned off by his character the minute they came within sniffing distance.
When asked what the gruff Northernr would smell like, he told The Cut: 'I can tell you exactly what Jon Snow smells like. He smells like wood smoke, wet dog, and meat that’s gone off.'
Kit also revealed that his trademark long mane is much better loved by his fans than by himself.

'You know, I cannot wait to chop it off and then I’ll stop being asked about it,' he said. 'Look, I don’t do much to it, I just get out of the shower and let it dry. And it sort of naturally dries in an intriguing way for people, I guess.'
Fans had been left delighted by his steamy sex scene with co-star Emilia Clarke's Daenerys Targaryen in the finale, which many had predicted was coming.
The pair, whose romantic relationship has been building throughout the penultimate season of the HBO fantasy drama, finally gave into their passion as they sailed north from Dragonstone, to face off against the dreaded White Walker threat.
In an unsettling twist, the couple's sizzling session between the sheets played out as Bran Stark confirmed the bombshell truth about Jon's parentage that had already been widely hinted at on the show.
Rather than being the bastard son of Ned Stark and an unknown woman he bedded while at war, Jon's real parents are Rhaegar Targaryen and Lyanna Stark, who wed in a secret ceremony before his birth, making Jon a legitimate son and the true heir to the Iron Throne.
Not bothered: Kit also revealed that his trademark long hair is much better loved by his fans than by himself.
