See the Spring Flowers

With spring comes the blooming of beautiful flowers, and below you will find our favourite spots for taking in the colourful array of tulips and daffodils.

Daffodils are synonymous with March, and Green Park is the perfect place to see them. The park transforms into a sea of yellow in spring, with 1 million daffodils in bloom. Other places include Hampton Court Palace and St James’ Park.

If it’s tulips you’re after, be sure to visit Buckingham Palace Memorial Gardens, Regent’s Park and Kensington Gardens. Created in honour of Queen Victoria, the Memorial Garden outside Buckingham Palace is filled with around 50,000 yellow wallflowers and red tulips.
