You wouldn’t normally associate a capital city with an array of natural wonders, but autumn in London is an amazing spectacle thanks to its beautifully maintained parks and green spaces that are dotted around the city.
The city takes on a new feel that this time of year, so many visitors flock to London’s parks and gardens to witness the leaves changing colour and grab a few snaps of their deep red, burnt orange and golden views.
If you’re staying at the Chilworth London hotel this autumn, then you simply have to check out these three amazing parks nearby.
Hyde Park
One of the largest and most well-loved parks in London, Hyde Park is a mecca for photographers hoping to capture the splendour of autumnal nature.
There’s also plenty to see and do at Hyde Park, including the Princess Diana Memorial and children’s play area, the Serpentine Gallery where you can enjoy the latest contemporary art exhibitions and even early evening bat walks with a team of wildlife experts.
The Chilworth London hotel is just a short stroll away from the entrance to Hyde Park, so it’s the perfect place to spend a few hours enjoying the vivid colours of the changing foliage.
St. James Park
Surrounded by landmarks such as Buckingham Palace, Clarence House and Whitehall, St. James Park hosts ceremonial visits and trooping the colour events, so it’s a very popular place to visit.
The park comes alive in autumn where you’ll find tourists walking around the lake and enjoying the beautiful fountain nestled deep in the park.
Visitors also come to visit the parks resident pelicans who can be found enjoying the lake or basking in the sun by Duck Cottage. You can even watch the pelicans enjoy their daily feed of fresh fish between 2:30pm and 3pm every day.
The easiest way to reach St. James Park from the Chilworth London hotel is by tube from Paddington Station using the Bakerloo line and by checking out our luxury London hotels special offers, you’ll have more money to spend on tube tickets.
Buckingham Palace Gardens
Usually reserved for the use of the royal family for official outdoor events and garden parties, Buckingham Palace Gardens is open to the public during the autumn months when taking a tour of iconic Buckingham Palace.
These gardens are steeped in history and feature an array of opulent plants and trees, but are only open when the Queen chooses to permit visitors, so now is a great time to take advantage of our luxury London hotels special offers if you want to explore her majesties private gardens.
Bucking Palace Gardens is easy to reach from our Paddington hotel, just hop on the tube at Paddington and you’ll arrive at nearby Hyde Park Station in just ten minutes and then walk for a further five minutes before reaching the entrance to Buckingham Palace.
