Greenwich Park to Blackheath Circular. This 2-hour, 3-mile walk combines vibrant golden canopies with the stunning, uninterrupted London skyline, making it a photographer's dream.

The Route & Photo Hotspots

• Start & The Old Royal Naval College: Begin at the Cutty Sark DLR Station. Walk through the grounds of the Old Royal Naval College for striking architectural shots with autumn tones along the river.

• The Royal Observatory Viewpoint: Head up the hill toward the Royal Observatory. The view from the top looking across the tree line to Canary Wharf and the City of London is legendary—especially during the late afternoon "golden hour" when the sun strikes the high-rises behind the orange leaves.

• Blackheath Avenue: Walk along this wide pedestrian avenue, which transforms into a spectacular "golden tunnel" as the leaves change colour.

• The Wilderness & Blackheath: Divert into the wooded area known as The Wilderness to capture rustic woodland shots, then step out onto the open expanse of Blackheath to shoot the sprawling, wild heathland before looping back down.
