Hunter’s Moon London 2025: How to see the lunar spectacle in the capital
Where Londoners can head to see the next full moon in the capital.
The next full moon Londoners can expect to see in the capital’s skies is the Hunter’s Moon which will be visible early next month on October 7.
The October full moon is named the Hunter’s moon as it marked the perfect time for them to seek food for the upcoming winter months.
Following September’s Harvest Moon, fields had been reaped and thanks to the changing of the seasons, tall grass and overgrown woodlands meant deer and fox were more visible to hunters.
The Hunter’s Moon is recognisable for its orange hue and often appears to be larger than other full moons as it is closer to the horizon.
It will be the tenth full moon of the year following September’s Harvest Moon and will come before November’s Beaver Moon.
While those in high-rise buildings could be lucky enough to see the lunar spectacle from their window, others can head to high points across the city to get a look.
Here’s everything Londoners hoping to see October’s Hunter's Moon in the capital need to know.

Those hoping to get a glimpse of the Hunter's Moon in London won’t have to worry about getting a telescope, as it will be visible by the naked eye. However, both weather and light pollution could end up obstructing the lunar spectacle.
While the capital is one of the most light-polluted spots in the country, it’s still possible to stargaze.
City dwellers may be able to catch a glimpse of the Hunter's Moon if they head to a higher vantage point, such as a rooftop or even a local park.
There are a number of spots throughout London in which locals and visitors may be able to see it.
One of the most renowned places is Morden Hall Park in South London but both Primrose Hill and Greenwich Park could also offer clear views.
