UK boyband One Direction spent time shooting a video earlier today (December 17) on the banks of London's River Thames.

The lads were spotted filming in front of the London Eye in very low temperatures this afternoon and all five members were present, after Styles recently enjoyed a mini-break with country-pop songstress Taylor Swift in the midlands.

Singer Louis Tomlinson, who confessed to wanting more tattoos after seeing photoshopped images of himself covered with new ink, was photographed singing into the camera (shown below) while making elaborate hand-gestures as the other heartthrobs looked pensive behind him.

They wore dark-coloured winter coats for the occasion and Styles accessorised his look with a flat cap to keep his head warm.
