Nothing says romance like a bunch of flowers, and we’re lucky enough in London Town to have a whole gamut of different florists all over the shop. So if you’re looking for a bouquet, then you’re in luck! Here’s our rundown of 10 of the best London florists, and you may even want to cop some blooms for Mother’s Day (March 10), which is less than a month away now!
1. Wild At Heart
Kicking off this roundup of the best London florists is Wild At Heart, a luxe spot based in Notting Hill. Billed as the ‘Turquoise Island’, it’s an institution in this neck of the woods, and has even got itself ‘listed’ status – pretty fancy right? Their store is crammed full of seasonal blooms, plants and flowerpots, and prices range from £60 to around £295. Sure, it ain’t cheap, but when you’re treating someone, money’s no option right?!
They’ve also got another branch in the venerable department store, Liberty. Called ‘Nikki Tibbles’ Wild At Heart’, it’s appeared in numerous films and TV shows – including the Oscar-nominated Cruella.
📍You’ll find Wild At Heart at 222 Westbourne Grove, W11 2RH and Liberty London, Great Marlborough Street, W1B 5AH.
🚇 Nearest stations are Notting Hill Gate and Oxford Circus.
2. Pulbrook & Gould
Another stunning luxury florist that we definitely, definitely can’t afford. But one look at their shop interior and you’ll be debating whether a week of eating beans on toast and walking to work might just be worth it, in exchange for a bunch of their blooms.
A medium-sized bouquet of white tulips from their Belgravia store costs an eye-watering £140, so we recommend just taking a photo and running away, before you make a very expensive decision. But then again, it’s nearly Mother’s Day so… why not!
📍You’ll find Pulbrook & Gould at 42 Buckingham Palace Road, SW1W 0RE.
🚇 Nearest station is Victoria.
3. Scarlet & Violet
Next up on this roundup of the best London florists is Scarlet & Violet, a lovely little spot in Queen’s Park, North London which has a heck of a lot of character. Their shabby-chic-styled shop is the perfect place to get some interior inspo, and their floral arrangements are always changing, with fresh seasonal flowers coming in every day.
Expect blossom in spring, foxgloves in summer, dahlias in autumn and hellebore in winter, and there’s everything here from bouquets to vases. They’ve even got tote bags!
📍You’ll find Scarlet & Violet at 76 Chamberlayne Road, NW10 3JJ.
🚇 Nearest station is Kensal Rise.
4. A Flower Shop
Well, this one shouldn’t need much explaining based on the title, right? Based on Chatsworth Road in Lower Clapton, they bill themselves as ‘Hackney’s local florist’, and are known for their seasonal, home-grown bouquets and affordable bunches.
Their seasonal flowers are either organically home-grown on their farm in Kent, or sourced from trusted local suppliers, so everything here is ethically sourced. They even deliver their blooms via bicycle, so if you know what you want you don’t even have to leave the comfort of your sofa!
📍You’ll find A Flower Shop at 51D Chatsworth Road, Lower Clapton, E5 0LH.
🚇 Nearest station is Homerton.
*Please note, A Flower Shop is temporarily closed, but you can still get your blooms delivered from their website.
5. Grace & Thorn
Next up on this roundup of the best London florists is Grace & Thorn – a ‘rule-breaking florist’ known for their off-beat approach to floral and plant styling. Their flagship store is based on Hackney Road near Bethnal Green, and they do everything here from bouquets to house plants and dried flowers to DIY house plants.
They also do ‘ready to wear’ wedding flowers, so who knows, if you treat someone to a bouquet you may be using them again for your walk down the aisle!
📍You’ll find Grace & Thorn at 312 Hackney Road, Bethnal Green, E2 7SJ.
🚇 Nearest station is Hoxton.
6. Dansk Flowers
Dansk Flowers opened their first store back in 2000 on bougie Upper Street in Islington, and they’ve since expanded to St. John’s Wood too. You’ll notice them both well before you reach the actual store, as there are buckets of flowers placed out the front which can’t help but draw you in.
They also do wedding bouquets, and firmly believe in ‘quality over quantity’, so you can be assured that this is a great place to head. They’re also currently doing loads of Valentine’s Day bouquets, so if you’re looking to treat your plus one then this is the place to go.
📍You’ll find Dansk Flowers at Upper Street, N1 2TX and 2 St. John’s Wood Terrace, St. John’s Wood, London, NW8 6JJ.
🚇 Nearest stations are Angel and St. John’s Wood.
7. McQueens Flowers
Another worthy entry to this roundup of the best London florists, McQueen’s Flowers are one of the UK’s most celebrated florists who are famous for their events. They’ve got an incredible array of displays on offer, from a bouquet of red roses called ‘Endless Love’ to a bright and beautiful display of tulips called ‘Bisous’.
Bouquets range from 90 quid according to their website, so this one ain’t exactly cheap, though if you’re going all out for Mother’s Day then why the hell not!
📍You’ll find McQueens Flowers at 29 North Audley Street, W1K 6WY and at 229 Cambridge Heath Road, E2 0EL.
🚇 Nearest stations are Marble Arch and Bethnal Green.
8. REBEL REBEL

They’ve also got a sister company based in Northern Tuscany where the ‘Rebels’ grow flowers for weddings and events in their acre of land in the beautiful Serchio valley. They even do floral courses here too – why not take a trip to Italy then? Go on – you deserve it.
