As the days become shorter and autumn begins, it's the perfect time to explore the scenic beauty of Greenwich.

With the vibrant colours of orange and red taking over, that autumnal atmosphere is in full swing.

Greenwich boasts some of the most picturesque walking routes, making it an ideal spot for an autumn stroll.

We've compiled a list of the top places to enjoy a walk in Greenwich.

Greenwich Park

First on our list is Greenwich Park.

This wide space is great for catching some stunning views of London to feel connected to a city that may feel out of reach right now.

This park is great for those who want to walk across the green and embrace the nature.

One happy TripAdvisor reviewer said: “A lovely place to visit with beautiful green grounds, squirrels, and people enjoying time with their kids and dogs.

“The actual Prime Meridian runs through the park, which feels more meaningful than the crowded photo op at the observatory.

“Take a moment to stop for a view of Greenwich from within the park too - it’s more serene than the busy tourist lookout.”

 

Charlton Park

Next on our list is Charlton Park.

Charlton Park is another lush green space for your daily walk.

The park features a Japanese herb garden and pond garden, with flowers and unique plants.

The park is also home to Charlton House, which was built in 1607, and has stood as wartime hospital before becoming the community centre it is today.

One TripAdvisor reviewer said: “A lovely home to visit with lots of history and a free gym with cafe, football pitches and park at the back which me and my kids love visiting.

“We also came across the road where there is a nice mini farm (take monkey nuts there's tens of thousands of squirrels).”

 

Oxleas Meadows and Wood

Third on our list is Oxleas Meadows and Wood.

This national park is one of the few surviving ancient woodlands in Greenwich.

There are bluebells and towering trees to see as you go for a stroll, which visitors have described as an “enchanting escape”.

One reviewer said: “Great location, some stunning open views, as well as some more secluded woodland.

“Plenty of footpaths and all well maintained.

“Some paths muddy and more difficult to traverse so recommend sensible footwear.”

 

The Tarn

Next on our list is The Tarn.

The Tarn, also known as The Tarn Bird Sanctuary, has been described as a “peaceful and natural haven” to escape to when the real word gets too much.

Walkers can spot several birds, floras and fauna, and many animals.

This park is also one of the many that appear along the Green Chain Walk, a route that covers 14 miles of some of London’s prettiest parks.

One reviewer said: “There’s so much to see here all the ducks, geese, baby chicks and the heron.

“Nice trees and squirrels and general wildlife.

“Can enjoy a relaxing quiet time here solo or bring along children to see nature in its true glory.”

 

Eaglesfield Park

Last on the list is Eaglesfield Park.

The woods in Eaglesfield Park cover much of the Greenwich borough.

This park is also the highest open space in the borough, providing clear views of Kent and even the Queen Elizabeth II Bridge at Dartford.

One reviewer said: “Lovely open space, next to golf course and tennis courts; a few steps away from probably the best view of London from anywhere.

“There is a nice children’s play area and a small pond.

“On the opposite side of the park, you can take in some spectacular views across to Kent - one can see the Dartford bridge in the distance.”
