Private car to RHS Chelsea Flower Show, Royal Hospital Road SW3 · Members & public days · May
The RHS Chelsea Flower Show is held annually for five days in the third week of May at the Royal Hospital Chelsea, SW3 4SR. The world's most prestigious horticultural show, it attracts over 150,000 visitors and is a fixture of the London social calendar. The show opens with Press Day (Monday), followed by Members' Days (Tuesday–Wednesday), and then the public days (Thursday–Friday–Saturday). The Saturday "sell-off" after the show closes is a beloved tradition in which exhibitors sell their show plants.
The main visitor entrance to Chelsea Flower Show is on Royal Hospital Road, SW3. Vehicles drop passengers at the main gate on Royal Hospital Road or at the Chelsea Embankment entrance (for Members arriving from the river side). The surrounding streets — Chelsea Bridge Road, Embankment, Pimlico Road — are all within a 5-minute walk. Our driver will navigate the Chelsea one-way system and deliver you to the most convenient entrance for your ticket type.
RHS Members' Days (Tuesday and Wednesday) are typically less crowded than the public days and offer the best opportunity to examine the show gardens in relative calm. Public days (Thursday–Saturday) attract larger crowds, particularly on Friday afternoon. For the best experience, Members' Day Tuesday is widely considered the optimal visiting day — book your transfer for a 10am arrival.
Attending the Chelsea sell-off on Saturday afternoon means potentially leaving with potted plants, cut flowers, or garden accessories. Our drivers are happy to assist loading purchases into the boot of the EQV MPV, which has ample space for several trays of plants alongside passengers.
Event transfer prices depend on your pickup location, number of passengers, and whether you need a return journey. Contact us for a fixed all-inclusive price.
