Superbloom


































To mark the Platinum Jubilee year of Her Majesty The Queen, over 20 million seeds have been sown in the moat of the Tower of London developing over the course of the summer, to create a beautiful, new naturalistic landscape. Designed to attract pollinators, ‘Superbloom’ brings a wonderful natural beauty to this urban space and introduce a new biodiverse habitat for wildlife. It celebrates the value of nature for our wellbeing.

Open from June to September, it is an evolving display, moving from soft green hues in June to delicate whites, blues, pinks and oranges throughout the height of summer. You enter the moat via a fully accessible visitor entrance. Once in the moat, you can choose to climb the stairs and slide down into the moat on the four lane Superbloom slide! You spend around 30 minutes exploring a one way route along winding willow-lined paths set to a specially commissioned soundscape with sculptural elements along the way. 

See the Queen's Garden, a special tribute to Her Majesty The Queen this Platinum Jubilee year. Designed to be viewed from above, this picture garden is inspired by her 1953 coronation gown. In the centre, sits a glass crown, a reminder of the Tower of London’s ancient as home of the Crown Jewels.
