When the sun is out, London feels quite lovely- you can visit a park or catch an outdoor film, and bask in the heat of the sun. Outside of parks, though, flowers are rare, and the only animals you really see are pigeons and people walking their dogs. I always enjoy seeing dogs pass by. They’re so cute and friendly (most of the time).
Daffodils and tulips grow in parks, gardens, and flowerbeds throughout London, including places like St. James’s Park, Hyde Park, Greenwich Park, and Kew Gardens. I also included photos from my visit to Oxford (tulips growing outside Trinity College), and a photograph of plants near the National History Museum, as well as beautiful flowers outside of Buckingham Palace.
Tulips and daffodils rely on sunlight, rain, and soil nutrients to grow. Their bright colors attract pollinators, and gardeners help care for them so they can thrive in the otherwise urban environment of London.
Pests, diseases, and heavy foot traffic (like people stomping on plants) can harm them. However, because London parks maintain these flowers carefully, there’s no serious danger- they are safe and well cared for.
