Winter walks in London

See the first frosts glisten on a winter walk in London.

Take a trip along the Thames Towpath and see the topiary shimmering in the Cherry Garden at Ham House or head to the winter garden at Osterley as it starts to share its seasonal surprises. At Morden Hall Park winter birds busily buzz around overhead as they seek out supplies for the colder months.
