Gardens of London and the Chelsea Flower Show
May 22-31, 2011

London’s private gardens and lesser known green spaces are the focus of this new tour, which also includes a day at the annual Chelsea Flower Show, the most glamorous and prestigious event in the horticultural calendar.  Each day we will visit a selection of exclusive private gardens, ranging from traditional formal gems to elegant contemporary designs, from stylish city havens to luxuriant rooftop oases.  We will also search out some of the capital’s less visited public gardens, courtyards, squares, and parks -- hidden green spaces in the heart of the city that few tourists know about and fewer still visit.  Highlights include a secluded cloister garden, a recreated period garden attached to a museum, an award-winning riverside park, and a stunning Islamic-style roof garden.  In fact, the gardens that we will see are as varied and interesting as cosmopolitan London itself.  Based in one hotel throughout, the tour will give participants a uniquely intimate view of a side of London that visitors rarely see. 

Many of the gardens are private and can only be visited by special arrangement.  Out of respect for the owners’ privacy, and because the order of visits may change, participants will receive a detailed itinerary closer to departure.
