Ever After Garden London: 30,000 glowing roses illuminate Duke of York Square in stunning display
More than 30,000 glowing white roses have transformed Duke of York Square into the Ever After Garden—a moving annual tribute that raises funds for The Royal Marsden Cancer Charity.
A much-loved winter tradition has returned to London, and this year it has a new home.
The Ever After Garden, featuring more than 30,000 illuminated white roses, has opened in Duke of York Square on the King’s Road, creating a serene space for remembrance while raising money for The Royal Marsden Cancer Charity.
Actor Helena Bonham Carter launched the 2025 garden, cutting the ribbon at an opening event on Tuesday evening.
She described dedicating a rose as “a unique and imaginative way to remember those we love… while supporting The Royal Marsden Cancer Charity’s work to save the lives of people with cancer.”
The glowing installation invites visitors to dedicate a rose in memory of a loved one with a suggested donation of £15. Those unable to visit can also make a dedication online.
Since its debut in 2019, the garden has raised more than £1.2 million for life-saving cancer research at The Royal Marsden.
This year marks the garden’s first appearance in Chelsea, supported by Brookfield as Headline Partner, Nationwide Building Society as Supporting Partner and Cadogan as Location Partner.
Co-founders Anya Hindmarch and Camilla Morton created the installation in tribute to their late friend, production designer Michael Howells, whose work included the film Ever After.
“The Ever After Garden holds a special place in the hearts of so many people,” said Hindmarch. “Every dedication helps fund research that leads to breakthroughs for cancer patients across the UK and beyond.”
The Ever After Garden is open daily from 3pm to 9pm until Tuesday, 16 December 2025 (with altered hours of 5.30pm to 9pm on Saturday, 15 November). Entry is free.
