🌸 Spring Walks & Flower Trails – Best of March & Early April
London’s parks burst into colour from mid-March onwards, and we’ve got the best spots to explore on foot:
🌺 Cherry Blossoms & Early Blooms
Cherry trees often begin to bloom from mid-late March into April (timing depends on the weather), creating perfect “hanami” moments around the capital.
St James’s Park (near Duck Island area) – blossom plus a classic royal backdrop by the lake.
The Regent’s Park (Inner Circle / Chester Road) – central and beautiful clusters of blossom paths.
Greenwich Park (near Ranger’s House) – a superb gentle climb to see blossom arches with city views.
