Superbloom at the Tower of London, 16th June - 18th September 2022
Be part of an unmissable moment this Platinum Jubilee year by visiting Superbloom at the Tower of London. This immersive floral spectacular will see you enter the medieval moat and be transported through a field of blooms around the famous fortress in celebration of HM The Queen’s 70 years on the throne.
Opening on 1st June and running until mid-September, experience over 20 million seeds erupting into a an explosion of colour. Wander along weaving paths among the flowers enjoying a specially commissioned soundscape, with sculptural elements to make you feel at home amidst the bees and butterflies.
An exciting feature of the Superbloom experience will be a fun, family-friendly slide into the moat. On arrival, slide down into the moat from one of four lanes and follow the visitor route through the display. For a more conventional entry into the blooms, there is a main fully accessible visitor entrance. The Superbloom slide, repurposed from an original commissioned by the National Trust for Cliveden House, will have planters running alongside to compliment the vibrant field of flowers in bloom.
The Tower’s ‘Superbloom’ is the first stage of installing a natural landscape in the moat in the heart of the City of London.
It will see the moat – dug and filled with water in the 13th century to defend the famous fortress – become a welcoming new habitat and a green haven for pollinators, insects and seed-eating birds.
When the ‘Superbloom’ display ends in September 2022, the new natural landscape created to support it will remain in the moat as a permanent Jubilee legacy.
