Magnolias typically bloom around March in London and there are plenty of recommendations online to head to the West End for some beautiful scenes.However, a lot of these spots in Notting Hill, South Kensington, and Chelsea are just individual trees, perhaps the work of specific homeowners. Very few places have a substantial number of trees clustered together. Sunderland Terrace near Royal Oak station is the only place where I found a long and continuous stretch of magnolia trees. I walked around Notting Hill's streets to find trees every now and then. Similarly, the Holland Park area had a sprinkle of magnolia trees every now and then. Walking past Earl's Court and heading towards the Thames, the blossoms get more plentiful around The Little Boltons and The Boltons.
