The cherry blossom trees at Swiss Cottage, a well-loved location for photography, especially among the Japanese community in London, are currently fenced off due to construction work. Camden Council is upgrading the park facilities, including replacing the playground and grassy bank. This disruptive work obscures the trees with heavy machinery and metal fencing during the peak season of cherry blossom blooming in March, a time traditionally celebrated in Japanese culture. Visitors are encouraged to admire cherry blossoms at Regent's Park instead during this time.
One of London's most popular cherry blossom spots is closed off this spring due to building works, leaving the iconic trees fenced off from the public.
The trees at Swiss Cottage, a favourite location for Japanese people in London to take photos, are now obscured by heavy machinery due to ongoing park upgrades.
Camden Council is replacing the playground and grassy bank, adding steps similar to those in Coal Drops Yard, which led to the closure during cherry blossom season.
While the cherry blossom trees bloom each March as a symbol of good fortune in Japanese culture, visitors are advised to see them in Regent's Park instead.
