But Greenwich Park isn’t the only south east London park where you can spot this iconic spring flower.
Just 18 minutes by car or an hour by train from Greenwich Park you’ll find Eltham Park South, just a short walk from Eltham and Falconwood stations, which is a scenic spot for Cherry Blossom.

Here you’ll find lines of both white and pink ornamental Cherry Blossom, making for a stunning photo opportunity if you want to admire the spring blossoms.
And aside from the Cherry Blossoms, neighbouring Eltham Park North – which you’ll find across the A2 bridge – is also a known hotspot for its Bluebells, which will be in full bloom between late April and early May.
The park also features a children’s playground and gym area, as well as an on-site café if you fancy grabbing a drink or a snack after a walk.
