Chelsea in bloom in a weeklong free annual flower festival that happens alongside the Chelsea flower show.
This year’s theme was ‘Out of this World’ and over 100 bars, restaurants and shops unveiled their floral displays on May 18.
Organised by the Cadogan Estate, the festival has been running for over two decades, and every year the sustainability side of the festival becomes more important.
Festival tour guide Abby said: “Every shop is trying to find ways to reincorporate things they’ve used in the past.
“To recycle their flowers and find ways they can give back to charities.”
The festival includes six large-scale installations, such as a zodiac installation on Sloan Square, a UFO installation on Pavillion Road and a dragon installation on Sloan Street.
