December might sound like a dull, colourless month, but look a little closer and a surprising palette emerges. Across London, dark green cypress domes stand out against gardens painted in rich browns—snuff, tobacco, fawn, umber, and sienna—punctuated by stubborn bursts of colour from pot marigolds, kaffir lilies, and red hot pokers. In woodlands, beech and chestnut leaves linger in warm tones, while bramble purples, glossy ivy, and the luminous greens of mosses and algae brighten damp paths and tree trunks. Even lichens glow more intensely on winter branches. And then there are the mandarin ducks, turning quiet waters into floating pageants of chestnut manes, iridescent crests, and bright orange ‘sails’. Return on 02-Dec for the full story!
