20 pretty spots to see Blossom in London

Magnolia and Cherry blossom in London

London in Spring is a sea of Cherry Blossom and Magnolia. For a few short weeks, the city turns pink before the petals rain down on the streets signalling warmer days ahead. Aside from parks and gardens, here are some of my favourite places to see blossom in London on beautiful residential streets.

How to use this guide

This list is in order so that you can easily walk between each blooming street in the most efficient way. Visiting all of them will take about 3-4 hours, not including the time you spend appreciating the blossom! So why not make a day of it, go for a long stroll, stop for lunch somewhere delightful along the way (lots of options open for takeaway at the moment!), and get your fill of flowers before they disappear until next year.

When to see spring blooms in London

The trees tend to be in flower between March and May, depending on the weather. Although, some Magnolia trees flower twice a year with a second, slightly less spectacular bloom in the summer time.

Looking for blossom in February or early March? Check out this guide to London’s early flowering blossom instead.
