Let free time blossom from luxury London hotel base

Event: The RHS Chelsea Flower Show
Date: May 25th to May 29th.
Location: London's Royal Hospital Chelsea

The annual RHS Chelsea Flower Show will open its doors to the public this week, with visitors from all over the world likely to attend.

While the show is highly regarded among both professional horticulturalists and amateur gardeners alike, visitors might find attending the show from the comforts of a luxury London hotel allows for an even pleasanter experience.

The fact that the event is seen by many as the world's premier flower show perhaps only adds to the fact a comfortable base from which the venue can be reached will enhance the experience.

Running from May 25th to 29th, the show attracts more than 150,000 people every year.

It is quite likely that visitor numbers would soar higher if admissions did not have to be capped for capacity reasons on the 11-acre site.

This year's highlights will include the Places of Change display, which is the biggest garden on show this year at 590 sq metres and the Sustainable Highland Garden, where a traditional Scottish setup has been given a technological twist.

Tickets must be bought in advance.
