“In joy or sadness, flowers are our constant friends.”

― Okakura Kakuzo, The Book of Tea

Tired of staring at your laptop screens all day around💻? Is your exam stress escaping your reality and following you in your nightmares? Worry not! We are here with the perfect solution to battle that test anxiety.

Join us for an exciting afternoon of fabulous florals at the city’s biggest free-to-attend flower festivals in London’s two most famous districts- Belgravia and Chelsea🌷.

We start our excursion from the Queen Mary Mild End Campus where residents can enjoy a refreshing cold drink in these sunny London summers (cool yourself down, it’s on us😝!).

From there we head to our first stop of the day, the Belgravia in Bloom flower festival. The theme for the festival this year is “Through the seasons.” Residents can expect to feast their eyes seeing spring, summer, autumn, and winter brought to life with majestic floral displays across the neighbourhood.

If that wasn’t amazing enough (drum roll, please!) we then head to the Chelsea in Bloom flower festival. This year’s theme, ‘Flowers in Fashion’ (fashionistas rejoice!) will see the neighbourhood transformed into London’s most elegant runway, with stunning floral displays taking inspiration from Chelsea’s fashion legacy, style icons, muses and more (Hey siri, play Fashion by Lady Gaga🎵!)

And if your stomach feels left out? Pop into one of the many restaurants, cafes, and bars across Belgravia and Chelsea offering unique, floral inspired, culinary experiences to satiate those cravings!

For the planners amongst us, worry you not! We got you. Click on the following links to check out more about both festivals:

Note: Please don’t forget to carry you resident’s rewards card and an oyster/credit/debit card (we will be travelling from campus to Belgravia via tube)
