Why visit Chelsea Flower Show?

Chelsea Flower Show is the world's most famous flower event. With over 30 gardens, it is the perfect venue to spot the latest trends, proving plenty of inspiration for your own garden. It is also a very English affair, with various opportunities to sip champagne, Pimms or simply a cup of tea.

Planning your visit to Chelsea Flower Show

If you are staying at The Colonnade, you can pop to the local deli, bakers or supermarket on Clifton Road, just a 2 minute walk from the hotel, to stock your own hamper.

Remember to bring a camera and notepad to document your visit, and also an umbrella...it is England afterall!
