Chelsea Flower Show |

Looking for a unique experience on your trip to London? For five days in May, you can experience the beautiful RHS Flower Show at Royal Hospital. The Chelsea Flower Show, London event is the most popular flower show in the UK and attracts tourists from all over the globe. Check it out and you’ll see a whole other side of Chelsea, London. Tickets must be bought in advance.
The avant-garde show gardens are created by high profile designers and feature Floral Marquee as their premier display. This isn’t the only attraction, though. You will also have the chance to explore smaller arrangements such as Urban Gardens and the Artisan. While they’re smaller in size, you’ll find that they are equally beautiful and diverse.
Ever since Hampton Court took over this London flower show, it has held up its prestigious title with its diverse range of exhibits. If you’re looking for something more traditionally British, you’ll find enjoyment in its nursery display and model gardens. If exotic flowers appeal to your interests, you’ll be happy to know that the Chelsea Flower Show offers exhibits created by foreign countries as well.
Even the Royal family acknowledges how fantastic this London event is, and if you visit on opening day, you can see them in attendance. Gardeners, landscapers, and related companies even outside of London submit their exhibits, and you will be inspired by their marvellous gardens to create one of your own. You can take some of the creative ideas you see to beautifully decorate your home.
