Belgravia in Bloom: London’s prettiest floral event explained
Every May, the elegant streets of Belgravia are transformed into a FREE open-air flower festival, running alongside the world-famous RHS Chelsea Flower Show. And honestly? You don't need a Chelsea Flower Show ticket to feel the magic, just wander into Belgravia and let the blooms do the rest!
In 2026, it runs from 18–24 May, and the theme is Fairy Tales of Belgravia 🧚♀️
Think storybook streets, dreamy floral displays, and little magical details everywhere you turn. Almost every shop, café, florist and boutique puts its own spin on it, so you’re constantly stumbling into something unexpected.
The festival is completely free to visit. Nearest tube stations are Victoria, Sloane Square and Knightsbridge, all a short stroll away.
A few practical tips before you go:
- Go early, it’s a really popular event, and by around 11am the streets start getting busy
- Take your time, there's so much details in every corner!
- Wear comfortable shoes (cobblestones are charming but unforgiving)
- Charge your phone! (Seriously)
The prettiest streets to see in Belgravia in May
Your walk at a glance
Start: Sloane Square station
Finish: Victoria Station
Estimated time: Allow a relaxed 2 to 2.5 hours but more if you stop for coffee (and you absolutely should).
1. Pimlico Road, London's design district in full bloom
Start your walk on Pimlico Road, a hidden gem between Belgravia and Chelsea.
It’s London’s design and antiques hub, lined with beautiful interiors shops and galleries like Rose Uniacke, Soane Britain, Howe, and Linley, plus the stylish Newson’s Yard courtyard.
During Belgravia in Bloom, the whole street transforms with standout floral displays, especially around the boutiques and delis, making it one of the most atmospheric spots to explore.
If you’re lucky, you might also catch the Saturday farmers’ market at Orange Square for fresh food, flowers, and a bit of local charm.
Head north-east along Pimlico Road, then turn onto Elizabeth Street.
2. Elizabeth Street, "The Crown Jewel of Belgravia"
Oh, Elizabeth Street is the one. If Belgravia in Bloom has a heart, it’s here!
Pastel façades, cute independent shops and café terraces all get completely transformed, with every storefront going all out on flowers. It’s honestly one of the prettiest spots to wander through (and one of my favourite ones!).
Bayley & Sage is a Belgravia gem I really rate - the flower display outside always looks stunning and smells amazing as you walk past!
Peggy Porschen is the real star here. You'll recognise it immediately: that iconic pink facade draped in fresh flowers is one of the most photographed spots in all of London. Go inside for a cupcake or a slice of cake!
Peggy Porschen
In front of it, The Lime Tree Hotel is one of those quiet Belgravia spots you’d easily walk past without knowing what’s inside. Tucked behind it is The Buttery, a London spot I really love.
It’s small, cosy, and feels like a true hidden gem, perfect for a relaxed meal away from the crowds.
Just across from Peggy Porschen, Les Senteurs, the beautiful independent perfume boutique with its powder-blue frontage, has a wonderfully colourful fairy-tale display too, all vibrant blooms and glossy red apples, like a scene straight from a storybook.
Moyses Stevens is one of London’s oldest florists (established in 1876), known for creating luxury floral arrangements for events, hotels, and special occasions across the city.
For Belgravia in Bloom 2026, Moyses Stevens's display is a fairy-tale inspired installation featuring a giant Tinkerbell-style floral figure outside their Elizabeth Street shop.
Other standout displays on Elizabeth Street
Elizabeth Street has such a lovely village feel in the middle of London. Somehow it still feels calm, local, and never overly touristy. It’s one of those streets I always come back to and I have a feeling you’ll love it too.
At the end of Elizabeth Street, turn right, then duck through Belgrave Mews West to reach West Halkin Street.
The route through Belgrave Mews West is a treat in itself: charming London mews architecture, beautiful residential streets, a wonderful detour from the main roads. Belgravia is full of these little hidden-away corners that make the neighbourhood so special!
3. West Halkin Street, where floral couture lives
If Elizabeth Street is the sweetest part of the walk, West Halkin Street is the most glamorous!
This is home to the flagship boutique of Neill Strain Floral Couture, one of London's most celebrated florists, known internationally for his extraordinarily exuberant, award-winning designs. The man is basically the Alexander McQueen of flowers!
From West Halkin Street, head towards Motcomb Street, just a minute's walk away.
4. Motcomb Street: cobblestones, chic boutiques and blooms
Partly pedestrianised and lined with beautiful Regency buildings, Motcomb Street is Belgravia's chicest shopping street.
This is where you used to find Christian Louboutin’s first London boutique, which opened on Mount Street in 1996, a real piece of fashion history.
Along the same area, you’ll find Carolina Bucci jewellery and Eres swimwear, both part of the wider Mount Street luxury scene, with couture names like Stewart Parvin also nearby.
A short walk away is Pantechnicon, a Greek revival-inspired building that has been transformed into a Nordic and Japanese lifestyle hub, with restaurants, cafés, and a rooftop bar.
Floral installations here tend to lean into the neighbourhood's luxury fashion character: elegant and beautifully composed.
From Motcomb Street, head towards Eccleston Street, which leads directly into Eccleston Yards.
5. Eccleston Yards (via Eccleston Street), Belgravia's best-kept secret
Save some energy for this final stop, because Eccleston Yards is a genuine gem!
What used to be an old power station (it supplied electricity to Mayfair and Belgravia back in 1891!) is now one of London's most charming and unexpected open-air destinations.
A leafy courtyard surrounded by independent shops, wellness studios, restaurants and creative spaces. It has a completely different energy to the rest of Belgravia. It's the kind of place you stumble into and end up staying for hours!
For Belgravia in Bloom 2026, the courtyard transforms into a Peter Rabbit-inspired garden!
At the centre is a giant floral bunny, surrounded by cottage-style planting, herb beds, wildflowers, and little whimsical touches like mushrooms and hidden fairy details 🌸
But that’s not all: around the courtyard you’ll also find smaller themed floral moments, including whimsical planted corners and floral walk-throughs.
This walk ends here at Eccleston Yards. Victoria Station is just a 5-minute walk away. Or, if you’re still exploring, Chelsea in Bloom is only a short walk and running the same week, perfect for a “double bill” day out!
