Chelsea Flower Show 2022: full schedule, how to buy tickets and the best day to visit

Where to eat at the Chelsea Flower Show

There are plenty of ways to dine at the Chelsea Flower Show and no shortage of food and drink on offer for those who have built up an appetite admiring the displays. 

There are cafes, food courts and picnic areas, and it is also possible to book a range of hospitality experiences, brunches, lunches and afternoon teas on site when you book your tickets.

Jardin Blanc with Raymond Blanc has an enchanting atmosphere. Packages are available, including four-course dinners, live music, long lunches, champagne and a complimentary open bar. The Ranelagh Restaurant, meanwhile, is a “quintessentially English” restaurant offering a four-course package from £98.

The Champagne and Seafood Restaurant is another Chelsea favourite for sustainable seafood platters, with walk-ins as well as pre-booked tables available.

Elsewhere, the Chelsea Brunch offers a formal a la carte brunch with champagne, and finally, The Drawing Room in collaboration with The Dorchester is not to be missed, with its floral-inspired Champagne breakfast, afternoon tea and drop-in bar bites.

Of course, there are many restaurants, pubs and bars surrounding the site which you may also wish to go to. The nearby King’s Road and Sloane Square offer dozens of restaurants, with two of the most popular being The Ivy at 195-197 King’s Road and Colbert at Sloane Square. 

The best hotels closest to the Chelsea Flower Show

There are plenty of hotels close to the Chelsea Flower Show. 

San Domenico House is a small boutique hotel 0.5 miles away. Our Telegraph hotel reviewer describes it as a “peaceful and private sanctum”. 

A more “playful, contemporary” stay is The Artist Residence London, 0.6 miles away from the show in Pimlico. It’s a 19th-century pub reinvented as a hip hotel, with café and cocktail bar. 

Within a similar striking distance is 11 Cadogan Gardens, London’s only Relais & Châteaux hotel, and the peaceful Lime Tree hotel, which occupies two Georgian townhouses.

Of course, The Goring is a firm favourite with Chelsea Flower Show goers, with its red-liveried footmen, gardens and Michelin-starred dining, and the Knightsbridge Hotel is just a mile away.
