The shop is open quite late (around 7pm) and so is perfect for last minute flower dashes. The two women who work there are very sweet and helpful and even at the end of the day when they don't have too much stock left, they can always manage to put together a decent bouquet. It isn't quite as smart as the flower shop towards the park end of Church Street, but it is a lot cheaper.

Nothing says, "I cheated on you/forgot your birthday/don't have time to construct your Ikea…read moreshelving unit" like flowers, so for guaranteed forgiveness, go to Evergreen and Outrageous for a beautiful tropical bloom, not the Texaco Garage for a bunch of wilted weeds. This florist decorates its section of Church Street fantastically and has even inspired the kind of occasional random flower buying on my part that makes me suspect I am growing middle aged just through living in Stoke Newington and seeing all the old people. They're just so pretty though (the flowers). There is a wall of foliage and flower of almost every conceivable variety in this store, orchids overhang the till and lilies send out an aroma strong and delicious enough to rival the smells of Fresh and Wild soup coming from the other side of the road. the service is professional and friendly and they deliver, so if you really messed up, the flowers will get home before you do.

I was in search for a little floral present and this cute little garden shop on Crawford Street in…read moreMarylebone attracted my attention. Looking in from the outside, you might get the impression that you're about to enter a jungle...it's filled to the brim with floral goodness! I had a quick chat with the lovely lady who was managing the shop that day and I told her about what I was looking for: a sturdy plant for an office - one that doesn't die of if you fail to pay it special attention on regular intervals. She pointed to a Money Tree, but one that is a slightly different species to the usual one - it's a bit reddish on the tips. I liked it right away - especially her comment about if the plant is growing, the business is growing ;-) Said plant - the shop owner and I named it Charly - is now living happily in our office...and it only takes one pint-ful of water to keep it happy!

But try flowers initially because the other thing women really love is to make their friends feel less appreciated. So getting her a nice bouquet of something will make all her friends and co-workers jealous, which will make you the hero-prince, if only for an hour. Absolute Flowers is a pretty shop jammed with pretty things (including staff). Though winter approaches and it was a rainy, grey day, the shop was full of flowers bursting with spring colors. If you're looking to get lucky, you might try a visit here to stock up on ammo. Or if you were recently dumped, stop by and pick up a dozen roses, then send to your ex's friend. The roses cost money but the thorns are free.

We were told that this was no problem, the basket would be ready for 9.30am and full payment was taken. When I arrived this morning (at 10.10am) I was told the basket hadn't even been started because the staff had been delayed getting in because of the strike - the same one we'd been assured yesterday wouldn't be a problem. I asked why they weren't working on it now in a bid to get it ready, and was told they'd had to put the flowers out the front of the shop first - despite the fact this was actually already finished, and the staff member in question was instead stood at the counter eating croissants when I arrived. I asked how long it would take to make up and was told 15 minutes - which would have meant missing the first of two strike buses I had to catch, and then my train to the funeral. All I was offered was more excuses and a half-hearted apology. I don't normally leave negative reviews, but on this occasion it's a different story. I find it unacceptable that a service was promised, with all the facts of the strike known in advance, and no provision was made to ensure this promise was kept. Had we been told this may have been an issue, we could have made other arrangements that it's now too late for. Florists deal solely in emotional transactions, arguably none more emotional than a funeral - and one which I am now going to empty-handed, rather than with the final declaration of love that had been intended. I won't be coming back here again.

But this little florist is a tardis of all things floral. The narrow shop is lined with shelves groaning under the weight of potted bulbs and luscious, orchids. And below is a bank of cut flowers, regal, rich stems dotted in amongst clouds of those little white filler flowers billowing out the door. Phew for this oasis.
