Floral installations at St Mary le Strand

Four days of floral installations showed how the Strand-Aldwych project has brought the area to life.

In October, St Mary le Strand church hosted the Jewel in the Strand Flower Festival: four days of large, immersive floral installations by some of London’s leading florists.

The festival shows the continuing success of the Strand-Aldwych project, which Westminster City Council began in 2017 with strong support from the St James’s councillors. It has turned the area into a lively public space, with St Mary le Strand at its heart alongside its larger neighbours, King’s College London, the Courtauld Institute and Somerset House.
