Chelsea Flower Show
May 20 – May 25, 2025
One of the highlights of the season is the Chelsea Flower Show. This annual event transforms Chelsea into a living gallery of horticultural artistry. Visitors can admire meticulously designed gardens and elaborate floral displays that celebrate nature at its best. Each exhibit reflects a commitment to craftsmanship and innovation, creating an environment where the beauty of nature is presented in its purest form.
Kew Gardens Sounds of Blossom

Adding to the list is the seasonal exhibition at Kew Gardens. As one of London’s most treasured green spaces, Kew Gardens offers a spring exhibition that highlights the beauty of emerging flora, mixed with music created by the Royal College of Music. Kew Gardens has remained a firm Hatton Jewels favourite over the years, and Spring is definitely on of the best times to visit.
London Coffee Festival
April 15 - April 18, 2025
The London Coffee Festival is a vibrant celebration of the city’s coffee culture. Bringing together top roasters, skilled baristas, and coffee enthusiasts, the festival features tastings, workshops, and live demonstrations. Whether you’re a casual coffee drinker or a dedicated aficionado, this event provides an engaging way to explore the art and science of coffee in a relaxed setting.
London Open Garden Squares Weekend
June 7th and 8th, 2025
Although technically not until Summer rolls around, we’re listing this event as it’s very likely to sell out and we think it’s going to be fantastic this year. For lovers of green spaces, the London Open Garden Squares Weekend offers a rare glimpse into the city’s hidden oases.
Across the capital, private garden squares open their gates, inviting visitors to experience beautifully maintained green retreats set within historic urban landscapes. This event not only highlights London's horticultural heritage but also offers a welcome escape from the hustle and bustle of city life.
Hampton Court Palace at Easter
March 29 to April 21, 2025
Hampton Court is one of Hatton Jewels' favourite locations—not just for its rich history and generally fun events all year round, but because it hosts what we consider the best Easter egg hunt in London. The Easter egg hunt transforms the palace grounds into a festive celebration of spring. It’s a standout event that draws families, culture enthusiasts, and those seeking a unique way to embrace the season.
This spring, let London’s diverse cultural events guide you through a season of discovery and enjoyment. From the simplicity of well-tended gardens to the direct presentation of art and history, Spring is the perfect time to enjoy some of London’s greatest events.
