Autumn in London: Explore Beautiful Parks in Full Colour

Not everything in London is about big events and tourist hotspots. Sometimes, the simple act of walking through a park in autumn is just as memorable and offers the perfect escape from the city’s hustle and bustle. By late September, London’s green spaces glow with vibrant reds, golds, and oranges, making them ideal spots for travellers staying in short term accommodation who want to experience both urban life and peaceful nature.

Richmond Park is the showstopper, where you might spot deer roaming the vast fields at sunrise. Greenwich Park is another favourite, offering panoramic views across the Thames, with sunset being the best time to capture the magic. Closer to central London, Kew Gardens provides a botanical touch to the season before transforming into its famous Winter Light Trail perfect for those visiting with children and seeking family accommodation nearby.

For travellers based at London Backpackers Hendon, these parks are easy day trips. Pack a picnic or just a hot drink in a flask, wear comfortable shoes, and set aside time to relax. After busy days navigating London’s busy streets, stepping into nature brings a much-needed balance that makes your stay truly memorable.
