Take 5… Homes near the RHS Chelsea Flower Show
Exquisite plants and flowers are in plentiful supply this week as the RHS Chelsea Flower Show returns. Undoubtedly the most prestigious event of its kind, thousands of horticultural enthusiasts flock to this corner of West London every year, excited to see unique floral displays and the gardeners behind them.
This year, Chelsea in Bloom returns to the borough’s streets with the theme Flowers in Fashion, celebrating the area’s fashion heritage. The neighbourhood will come alive with floral tributes to legendary designers, iconic fashion moments, and timeless style trends – all beautifully displayed across shop fronts, restaurants, and hotels.
Among the standout creations, you can expect to see a towering four-metre-tall punk with a floral mohawk, giant yellow wellies surrounded by a sea of umbrellas, oversized Elton John-style glasses and a stunning floral couture gown honouring literary icon, Jane Austen.
So, if you’re planning a trip to the Royal Borough while it is in full bloom once more, we’ve picked five houses you can check out in between floral displays:
Flood Street
London SW3
King’s Road will be the biggest explosion of floral creations for Chelsea in Bloom so it has to be top of list when exploring all the events on offer this week. Just off this popular street lies this excellent freehold house on Flood Street, with five bedrooms and this gorgeous kitchen that is certainly the heart of the home.
Ovington Street
London SW3
This townhouse can be found on Ovington Street and its manicured garden is truly channelling Chelsea Flower Show. Recently renovated and remodelled throughout, the garden at this three-bedroom home surely sells the home on its own.
Halsey Street
London SW3
This four-bedroom home on Halsey Street is a wonderfully quiet residential address, just a short walk from Sloane Square -one of the central highlights of Chelsea in Bloom. The homes here date back to around 1840, and this particular property has been beautifully curated for modern family living while preserving its elegant period features.
Cheyne Gardens
London SW3
9 Cheyne Gardens is one of Chelsea’s most desired addresses year-round, but during May it’s even more prime real estate, being just over a 10 minute walk from the flower show. The immaculately presented apartment offers great volume throughout and has glorious views over some of the most spectacular gardens in Chelsea.
Redburn Street
London SW3
Reburn Street is also just a 10 minute stroll from both the iconic grounds of the flower show and the vibrant floral displays along King’s Road. Number 8 is a stand-out home and would make the most incredible family house - with four bedrooms, a large kitchen area, and outside space.
