You can find Most Instagrammable Lavender Fields just less than an hour drive from London, well depending on your location. As London itself is huge and sometimes it takes more than an hour to get from spot A to spot B in London. Anyway, to experience this beauty and divine smell, it’s really worth to drive an hour or more. There are quite a lot of lavender fields in the UK, but just very few near London. The most popular and most instagrammable is Mayfield Lavender Field. It’s 15 miles from central London, but if you live in the south then it’s a very short drive by car or journey by train. It’s an absolutely stunning field, it has an arch and red telephone booth. So basically everything that Insta girl would love to capture. Some useful information:
– The peek of flowering is mid/end June to early September depending on the weather.
– Entry costs £2 per adult and for children under 16 it’s free.
– Advanced booking is not required.

The second most Instagrammable Lavander Field is based near Hitchin. Hitchin Lavender field is more convenient for those who live in the North (like me). So we decided to visit it in the mid-August and had lot’s of fun and lot’s of stress (because we took boys together and my little naughty thing didn’t stay in one place so we had to run around him :).
