How to Celebrate Cherry Blossom Season in London

Spring is most definitely in the London air, so the team at Four Seasons Hotel London at Ten Trinity Square wanted to share a round-up on how to make the most of the season.

Hanami is a long-standing tradition of welcoming in spring. When cherry blossoms bloom, families and friends historically would gather together under the trees to celebrate and admire the transient beauty of the flower.

Cherry Blossoms Viewing in London’s Iconic Parks

Enjoy an afternoon walk, grab a coffee and chase the cherry blossoms in The Regent’s Park, St James’s Park and Greenwich Park. These three parks are filled with pink and white blooms, setting the perfect backdrop for your social media post.

Dining

Beneath a colourful canopy at Mei Ume, delve into a sakura-inspired menu devised by Head Chef Tony Truong, featuring a blooming array of traditional Japanese dishes such as seared tuna salad and miso-glazed eggplant.

Opt for a sakura-themed patisserie or mochi at Japan Centre in Leicester Square for a sweet treat.

Unwind with Sakura-Infused Beverages

Whether at home or dining out, another traditional way to celebrate hanami is by enjoying sakura-infused tea and sake along with seasonal dishes. Director of Wine at Four Seasons Hotel London at Ten Trinity Square Jan Konetzki and knowledgeable team have also curated a selection of seasonal sake, fringe tea and wines with a Japanese accent. The labels chosen champion the entire menu in Mei Ume restaurant.
