Autumn brings a noticeable change to London. Trees turn shades of yellow, orange and red, leaves begin to cover the pavements and parks take on a different feel as the season progresses.
Across the city, this change can be seen in all sorts of places, from larger parks and tree-lined streets to smaller gardens and residential areas. Even everyday routes look a little different as the leaves fall and the temperature drops.
But autumn is about more than the changing colours. Fallen leaves provide shelter for insects and other small wildlife, while trees, hedgerows and plants continue to offer food and habitat for birds and other animals preparing for winter.
It’s also a good reminder of how much nature exists throughout London. You don’t always need to travel far to see the seasons changing. Sometimes it’s just a matter of noticing what’s happening around you.
As the city moves towards winter, it’s worth taking the time to enjoy these small changes and appreciate the nature that’s part of everyday London life!
