The Best Of Chelsea In Bloom
Chelsea in bloom takes place at the same time as Belgravia in bloom. Which I also reported on at the following link
Chelsea in bloom also coincides with the Chelsea flower show. This year is an extra special bloom festival. Lasting longer than usual. As we see the Queen celebrate her 70 year reign. A first for any British monarch.
This year's Chelsea in bloom theme is British icons. I visited as many of my personal favourites as I could in person. But it quickly became a stressful effort!
For the very first time, visitors can enjoy an extended display for Chelsea in Bloom. Perfectly themed to coincide with the Jubilee. With installations at Sloane Square and Duke of York Square. Along Pavilion Road. Sloane Street and King’s Road. Remaining in place until Sunday 5th June 2022.
The streets of Chelsea were crowded with both Chelsea flower show visitors and Chelsea in bloom guests. All waiting eagerly for their chance to be photographed in front of the flowering displays.
I passed designer stores with all sorts of unique flower displays. From Alice in wonderland. To the beatles. Even Peter Rabbit. Paddington bear and of course. Sculptures of her majesty Queen Elizabeth II.
There's a free Sloane Square magazine and an official Chelsea in bloom website. Both featuring guides to all the floral displays and special offers. You can even join a public vote for the best flower installation.
