A walking route in London has been highlighted as a must-see for spring, with streets lined with wisteria creating a scene akin to a fairytale. The journey, shared by Visit London on social media, begins at Holland Park tube station and takes in some of the capital's most stunning displays of the flowering plant.
The route first leads to Lansdowne Crescent, where surrounding roads are dotted with vibrant wisteria. Next, walkers can head to Hawbridge Mews, a cobblestone area described as full of charm. From there, a ten-minute walk to Bedford Gardens passes colourful streets, pubs and cafes, with wisteria so abundant that its fragrance can be smelled from a distance.
The walk continues through Kensington towards Abingdon Road, with a stop at a mews described as stunning. The final destination is Saint Leonard's Terrace in Chelsea, which boasts a never-ending display of wisteria. Known for its dramatic "waterfall" effect in spring, wisteria symbolises endurance and longevity, and can be found in purple and other varieties.
