RHS Britain in Bloom is one of Europe’s largest horticultural
campaigns. More than 1,100 cities, towns and villages
participate each year to demonstrate their achievements in
environmental responsibility, community participation and
horticulture.
Following the City of London’s success in London in Bloom in
2009, we entered for both London in Bloom and Britain in Bloom in
2010 and have been thrilled with the results. Many thanks go
to all the residents, local community groups and businesses as well
as City of London staff who helped to make this possible.
London in Bloom 2010
The City of London was awarded the Gold award and declared
Champion of Champions at London in Bloom 2010 in the Town

These highly prestigious awards demonstrate the City of London’s
dedication and success in having a positive impact on community
spirit, sense of place, conservation, sustainability and
horticultural standards.
The Champion of Champions award presented to City of London
demonstrates a consistent achieving of these Gold Award
standards. We were also delighted to be awarded the
Chairman’s Award at London in Bloom 2010.
