South London park voted best place to see cherry blossom in the capital
Spring is almost upon us and one of the most jaw-dropping signs of the new season is cherry blossom.
Although the stunning pale pink petals are typically associated with Japan, where a festival dedicated to them attracts millions of tourists, it’s possible to catch a glimpse of these wonderful flowers in London.
So, if you’re unable to travel to Japan for sakura season this year, catching a train down to Greenwich Park in South East London will give you amazing photo opportunities.
In a list of the best places to see cherry blossom in the big smoke, compiled by Time Out, Greenwich Park took the crown – beating the likes of Regent’s Park and Kew Gardens.
