The Chelsea Flower show isn't the only area of London to be in full bloom in May. Belgravia in Bloom will boast floral displays in shop windows, pubs and front doors to mark the Queen's 90th birthday.

Visitors will be not only be able to sample a floral-inspired cake at Peggy Porshen but also visit pop-up garden installations, so there's lots to do, taste and see.

Orange Square will be transformed into 'Freedom Street' as part of the Chelsea Fringe Festival to help raise awareness for modern slavery. Elsewhere, Neill Strain has an exterior display of rare and exotic orchids, some of which have never been seen in the UK before. Enjoy an orchid cocktail or tea as you browse.
