When is Belgravia in Bloom 2023?
Belgravia in Bloom is running from the 22nd – 29th May 2023. As usual this is in line with the Chelsea Flower Show that takes place at the Chelsea Pensioner’s Home. If you adore seeing the floral installations in Belgravia, don’t forget to schedule time to see Chelsea in Bloom that’s live the same week.
What is the Theme for this Year’s Belgravia in Bloom?
To celebrate the King’s Coronation in their own way, the theme of Belgravia in Bloom is ‘Into the Wild.’ The theme is a chance to celebrate the Kings and Queens of the jungle, whilst acknowledging the King’s passion for conservation.
What to Expect from 2023’s Installations
Belgravia will come alive with flowers from a week in May, celebrating all things wild! We’ve had a cheeky glimpse into what to expect we’ve got the details to share with you:
- Family of peacocks – Motcomb Street by Neill Strain
- Floral Jeep – by Moyses Stevens
- Tunnel of exotic orchids – by Judith Blacklock
- Underwater Utopia – Peggy Porschen
- A bark owl – Biscuiteers

In Partnership with London Wildlife Trust
This year Belgravia in Bloom has partnered with the London Wildlife Trust in support of their mission to boost biodiversity and to bring Londoners closer to nature. The installations this year will utilise biodiversity boosting flowers as part of the collaboration.
To help visitors to the festival learn about biodiversity and its importance, they will be hosting a Hedgehog Van in Eccleston Yards. Here you’ll be able to create ‘seed bombs’ to use in your own garden. There will also be plenty of chances around the area to donate to the Wildlife Trust through QR codes.
