While most of us are still sweating through the summer humidity, some Londoners are already fantasizing about crisp autumn air and colourful leaves.

The seasonal wishful thinking started making rounds in local online discussions earlier this month, with residents sharing their excitement for fall’s arrival. One particularly enthusiastic post featured stunning photos from Spring Bank Park and the Meadowlily trail, showcasing what London’s natural spaces look like when dressed in their autumn finest.

The sentiment struck a chord with fellow locals who are clearly ready to trade their shorts for sweaters.

“Fall is the best season! Even though it is followed by months and months of winter,” one person noted, perfectly capturing that bittersweet Canadian relationship with seasonal change.

The spooky season enthusiasts are already gearing up too, with Halloween lovers expressing their anticipation for October’s festivities.

Local nature spots like Westminster Ponds and the various trail systems throughout the city become particularly magical during autumn months.

The early autumn anticipation isn’t entirely surprising given how intense London summers can get.

Local photographers and nature enthusiasts particularly look forward to autumn’s arrival, as it marks prime time for capturing London’s natural beauty.

The discussion originally surfaced on Reddit, where locals frequently share their seasonal observations and outdoor photography.
