Chelsea Flower Show

I was fortunate to be in London the same time as the annual Chelsea Flower show was being held. Not only an overwhelming display of every flower in creation,but gorgeous garden furniture,sculptures,topiaries and endless ideas for small and large outside spaces . After walking solidly for six hours around the exhibition,I think ? I may have seen it all. Weeks and weeks of work is put into this show and it is quite amazing,living trees and large plants are brought in for the event,thousands of cut flowers - maybe more than thousands! I took many many photos and have chosen some that portray the varied aspects of the show.

Lovely London-"Anthropologie"and Portobello Road

Whilst in London I was trying to find my way to Harrods, took a wrong turn and ended up on Sloan Street where Anthropologie sprung up in front of me ! I had always wondered about this beautiful store, and took some photos through their front window ( instore photos definitely not allowed !)The beautiful leadlight windows, tiled entrance and artistic window displays did not disappoint.

Portobello Road Market was one of my favourite places in London. It is held every Saturday in NottingHill,and takes hours to wander through the stalls that go forever.You can find anything from antiques,vintage clothing,bags,shoes,flowers and plants and the most beautiful fruit and vegies.

Buskers in Portobello Road

One of the many market stalls

This shop in Portobello Road does not sell sewing machines ! It is a clothing store, and every table,shelf and clothing rack is vintage industrial,with scrubbed pine floors to give the appearance of a clothing factory.

The buildings in Portobello Road

This stall specialised in silverware,one of everything !
