The serene collection of gardens nestled within Peckham Rye Park remain something of a local secret, despite the crowds of Londoners that descend on the adjacent Common on a sunny weekend. Head to the Sexby Garden in late spring to stroll through magnificent corridors of delicate lilac wisteria blossom on the garden’s wooden pergola.
Warmer weather and longer days aren’t the only signs that British springtime is well under way. This country is also bursting into colour, with flowers and blossoms covering entire fields and filling every nook and cranny with petals that can’t help but boost your mood.
And make no mistake, the UK is one of the best places in the world for flower-lovers. From reams of golden daffodils and soft carpets of brilliant bluebells to avenues of cherry blossom, there are more than enough opportunities for getting your fill of flowers. And that goes for wisteria, too, whose purple petals typically appear throughout May and early June.
Throughout all the many leafy parks and gardens of the UK, there are plenty of different opportunities to see wisteria in all its glory. From lilac-hued Japanese wisteria hugging wooden bridges in Surrey to dazzling archways of cascading flowers in London, these are our pick of the best places in the UK to see wisteria.
