Where is the Chelsea Flower Show 2019 and how can I get there?

As the name suggests, the event is being held in Chelsea, in the grounds of the Royal Hospital Chelsea.

The showground is transformed with a vast array of colourful flowers with plenty to see and do.

As the event is in central London, it is recommended that people use public transport to reach the event.

The closest underground Tube to the event is Sloane Square, which is 10-minute walk from the venue.
