    Flower Stands

    On Kings Road, Chelsea, shops sit next to venerable flower stands but Chelsea’s true floral glory can be witnessed in March during the annual RHS Chelsea Flower Show, where visionary landscape designers present innovative garden arrangements that will inspire you to completely transform your own outdoor space. If you can't quite make the date, breathe in uplifting botanical scents in one of Chelsea’s bountiful flower stands. Wander down Fulham Road and admire the beautiful bouquets at The Flower Stand and Chelsea Wild. If shopping in Chelsea takes you to King’s Road, why not stop by Amanda Austin Flowers? Or you can visit Chelsea Flowers on your way to the Design Centre. After a scrumptious cake at L’eto’s, head down the road to The Flower Yard. Its exotic and fragrant flowers will keep you smiling long after you leave. Popping by one of these thriving flower stands is almost as good for the soul as visiting one of the spas in Chelsea. Almost.

      Holland Park

      Brimming with a village vibe and community spirit, you’d be forgiven for thinking you were far from vibrant South Kensington when staying in one of Holland Park’s apartments, London.

The marvels of Victorian-era architecture can be truly appreciated here; Holland Park property boasts detailed cornicing, imposing columns, period balustrades, glass and iron canopies that stretch over grand entryways, preserving the heritage of this historic quarter.
