Tuesday and Wednesday are for members and press. These are the quiet days. You’ll see actual designers sobbing over a misplaced fern.
Thursday and Friday are public days. Crowded doesn’t cover it. You’ll be shoulder-to-shoulder with people holding enormous handbags.
Saturday is the sell-out day. Everything is picked over. The best blooms are slightly wilted. Go mid-week if you can.
Survival Tips for the Show
Wear comfortable shoes. Ignore fashion. Blisters are not worth looking chic in a straw hat.
Bring a small umbrella. London weather is a traitor. One minute sun, next minute drizzle.
Don’t touch the plants. Security guards will glare at you. They take their job very seriously—these flowers are celebrities.
