Tulip garden near London: 2 of the closest spots for Londoners open this bank holiday weekend

Londoners wanting to add a touch of spring to their May Day bank holiday weekend, there are a few places to see some blooms that are not too far from the city.

Over the past month, colourful Tulip displays have taken over TikTok, and users have shared their visits to the vibrant florets.

Some of the most popular displays included the Surrey Tulleys Farm which had around 1.2 million tulips on display and Hampton Court Palace which had a mighty display of over 100,000 tulip bulbs across its grounds. However, both their bloom-themed events have now closed.

While this year’s tulip season is coming to an end, those who still want to make a trip to see a floral display can still visit a couple over the upcoming bank holiday weekend.

Luckily for Londoners there are a few spots still hosting tulip displays this weekend that are only a few hours away via train.

Here’s where city locals can find tulip displays not too far from the capital this bank holiday weekend.
