Having grown up in southwest London, and now bringing my own daughter up here, I know the area inside out. It’s always a total delight meeting the new families and small businesses here.

I love the beautiful parks and commons in southwest London, and they make great locations for photography. Some of my go-to locations include:

1. Wandsworth Common: the wide open spaces work really well, as does the playground (on family shoots!) and the pond.
2. Battersea Park: the sloping fields are a great spot, as are the more landscaped areas and the pond.
3. Bishop’s Park in Fulham: another favourite, with the pretty rose garden, the picturesque walkway along the river and the woodland areas.
4. Wandsworth Park: a great option for toddlers and older children, with the colourful playground and the fun scooting routes along the pond.
5. Richmond Park: this majestic park is, of course, a favourite location. The wide, open expanses are so picturesque, as is the stunning Isabella Plantation.
6. Cannon Hill Common: a new discovery for me, full of brilliant locations for photography!
