The woods around Lesnes Abbey have London’s largest display of wild daffodils.

The familiar yellow flowers are appearing now and will reach their peak this month.

There are also crocuses near the abbey fish pond and blossom in the monks’ garden.

**Lesnes Abbey is between Shooters Hill and Dartford on the second stage out of London.
