Good to know when visiting the Chelsea Flower Show

The Chelsea Flower Show is a popular event that draws many visitors, so it’s best to plan your transport in advance and arrive early to ensure you see all the exhibits and have a chance to shop. With so many visitors and limited parking space, it's best to take public transport.

If you prefer to drive, you can book parking in Battersea Park with your ticket purchase. The parking area is about a 20-minute walk from the show, but there is a park-and-ride service to shuttle you to the Bull Ring Gate entrance.
