LONDON DISCOVERY WALKS, Talks & Events!
A place to explore London’s localities – its urban villages – as defined by their:
CULTURE, HISTORY, ARCHITECTURE AND PUBLIC SPACES.
We explore the past, asking how each neighbourhood has come to acquire its unique character in the present day, and look towards the future, asking what is the changing face of London.

They say - Thursday is the new Friday so let's revisit the Chelsea in Bloom Tour! We have been coming here for a few years now and have come to know what an outstanding exhibition this is in its own right!!!
Chelsea In Bloom 2025 - Flowers in Fashion
They say: The world class alternative floral art show is back for its 20th anniversary, transforming the streets of Chelsea, with breathtaking displays made of fresh flowers.
Produced by Cadogan, in association with the Royal Horticultural Society (RHS), the annual competition continues to grow year on year, with Chelsea’s best retailers, restaurants and hotels adorning themselves with creative designs, competing for the coveted awards.
2025’s theme is ‘Flowers in Fashion’, celebrating Chelsea’s place at the heart of many iconic fashion movements and it being one of the world’s most stylish destinations.
‘Flowers in Fashion’ will see the neighbourhood transformed into London’s most elegant runway, with inspiration taken from its fashion legacy, style icons, muses and more.
The competition will see participants showcasing floral displays, each reflecting their own unique interpretation of the theme. The displays will be judged by an expert panel, with the winners announced on Tuesday, 20 May.With loads to see this truly is the 'alternative' Chelsea Flower Show - without an expensive ticket! Talk about Flower Power - Chelsea really does go for it!
I will organise a route for us and the plan is to finish off with a hop on the the tube for an eats & drinks social (optional) at:
The Civil Service Club in Great Scotland Yard which is a unique organisation in a special building at the historic heart of government in Whitehall. Upon her accession to the throne in 1952, Her Majesty The Queen made the premises available to the Club to provide 'a social facility within the reach of all.’ Today the Club is thriving as never before, with more than 12,000 members and a mission true to its original founding.
