Chelsea in Bloom: the prettiest shopfronts and floral displays in South West London

If you didn’t manage to secure a ticket for this year’s famous RHS Chelsea Flower Show, fear not.

For there’s still an opportunity to enjoy an array of spectacular – and entirely free – floral delights when you’re out shopping in Chelsea over the next few days.

Celebrating its 10^th anniversary this year, the Chelsea in Bloom festival is a competition which sees retailers adorn their shops with floral displays which are judged by an expert panel.

An impressive 65 boutiques, hotels, restaurants and local businesses have taken part in this year’s Chelsea in Bloom, each creating unique window and store-front displays to be a part of an ever-popular community event, and in an attempt to pick up a coveted award.

Echoing the theme of this year's flower show, Summer of Love, Chelsea has come alive with floral hearts and roses. One retailer has even made a tribute to the royal couple (see above).

Who will be crowned the floral kings and queens of the Cadogan Estate’s 2018 Chelsea in Bloom competition?

Chelsea in Bloom runs until Saturday, 26 May. Find out more about the show and the judges here.
