Pollen Count in London Today

The capital of Great Britain, London is the UK’s largest city, with an estimated population of over 7 million – that’s more people in one city than the population of Scotland! It’s no surprise then that the city is at the heart of trade, commerce, politics and industry, being chief home of monarchs past and present as well as the most important location in the UK for finance and business.

Yet the heavily urbanised London that you might see today still manages to retain some of its greenery, with royal parks and botanical gardens spread throughout the city.

There’s still plenty of places were hayfever can linger and, to add further fuel to your watery eyes and runny nose, there is pollution to consider as well. These factors can make London an overwhelming place for hayfever sufferers; however, given its sheer size and population volume, London is chockfull of opportunities and activities for visiting hayfever patients.

It would be impossible to talk about pollen allergens in London without addressing the most notorious suspect of all, London Plane. As the name might suggest, this tree variant loiters throughout the city and can be especially irritating during the summer months, pollinating through to August and September. Other common culprits also include oak, birch and ash, with these trees often populating most of London’s parks and green spaces.
