If there’s one thing that gets my little ones bouncing with anticipation faster than you can say “Easter bunny,” it’s the promise of an epic Easter egg hunt. And let me tell you, West London knows how to deliver! From urban trails and city farms to sprawling parks and heritage homes – there is something for everyone on this list. So, grab your baskets and put on your bunny ears and let’s explore my top West London Easter Egg hunts.
The Little Egg Hunt
Dotted around the streets of Chelsea are twelve ornate eggs, each individually designed by artists and designers including Anya Hindmarch, James McQueen and Philip Colbert.
Easily found within a concentrated area around Duke of York square, this trail is just the right size for tiny explorers and a welcome sweetener if you are dragging the kids for a spot of shopping on the King’d Road. Download map
Fulham Palace Easter Egg trail
Children will absolutely love scavenging around the Fulham Palace and its enchanting grounds and walled garden this Easter.

No booking required.
Morden Hall park easter Trail
This Easter, Modern Hall Park invites children on a journey of discovery, sound and Music as they delve into the lush greenery and rugged woodlands of this National trust gem.

No booking required.
Vauxhall City Farm
Whilst not quite West London, Vauxhall City Farm is just one stop from Clapham Junction and well worth a visit. This cute little urban Farm is an oasis just footsteps away from the hustle and bustle of city life. The Easter events programme here includes Easter bonnet making, activity sheets, cuddles with real Easter Bunnies and of course an Eater Egg hunt. Children will be let loose on the farm garden to search for hidden eggs. Find ten and you can make your way to the cafe to exchange for a chocolate reward. Booking Required.
RHS Garden Wisley Easter Egg Trail
Retreat into nature this Easter with a visit to RHS Garden Wisley, a short drive from West London in neighbouring Surrey. Here you will find the expansive gardens littered with enormous painted eggs. Be sure to visit the Clore Learning Centre where craft and planting Easter activities are being held daily.
Lindt Easter Egg Hunt at Hampton Court Palace
Back by popular demand the much loved Lindt Easter Bunny Hunt at Hampton Court Palace makes for a fabulous Easter day out. Immerse yourself in Tudor History in King Henry VIII’s iconic palace before letting the little ones loose on the beautifully maintained grounds and gardens.
The Hunt takes the form of a self led 90 mins trail where children will seek out hidden Lindt Bunny statues which they will then match to influential historical figures, many of whom will be making appearances within the palace this Easter. Aimed at children aged 3- 12 yrs, the hunt is an excellent opportunity for older children to put their Tudor knowledge to good use and be rewarded with a delicious Lindt Bunny treat. Booking ahead advised.
