I will be traveling to London the first week of April. What types of pollen should I expect to encounter? I am highly allergic to tree pollen.

In London you’ll find London plane trees, elm, sycamore, oak, willow, maple, birch and more. There may also be more exotic varieties that have been shipped in over the years.

London’s Mile End Park, Victoria Park, St James’ Park, Hyde Park, London Zoo and Hampstead Heath are just some spots where pollen counts may be higher.

The type of pollen you are likely to encounter on your trip will really depend on which part of London you are visiting. For further information on this, please look at our pages on pollen in north London, east London, south London, central London and west London.
