Today I went shopping for a Christmas wreath and a few other flowers and found myself in Bloomsbury…read moreFlowers. What brought me into the shop was the beautiful wreath on the door. The shop was decorated for Christmas and I was feeling a bit envious that I could never get my house to look that festive, no matter what I do. But I did feel I could achieve a similar look with some help. I spoke with the florist who was sweet and knowledgeable, she gave me excellent ideas. By the time I got finished looking around the shop and acting on her ideas I left with a wreath and several poinsettias. Bloomsbury Flowers is a great shop and it is nice to have found a new shop that is near my house. The service is great and since they arrange flowers for every occasion it's the perfect shop. And thanks to the florist I've achieved a wonderful Christmas look at home.

Searched for a flower shop that would deliver to the St. James's area yesterday. Was a bit nervous…read moreordering from across the pond but as it turns out, I didn't have to worry at all. Bloomsbury Flowers was super quick responding to my request to send an arrangement to a friend who had just started a new job. All I gave them were the contact details and color choice. They handled the rest! Given how expensive London generally is, the arrangement was reasonably priced (I even went ahead and asked for an upgrade from the original offer). Less than 24 hours later, my friend received the perfect and lovely bouquet! Very pleased and most importantly, the recipient was overjoyed! Thank you Mark and the team at Bloomsbury Flowers.

Absolutely amazing place!

The place is small, but full of charm, character and wonderful staff. The array of flowers and all imaginable accoutrements to make breathtaking displays and arrangements are all to be found in the academy! We arrived and the young woman was in the midst of finishing my wife's bouquet - perfect timing for a final tweak or two, and ribbon choice. It also gave us time to stroll through the store, including the lower level where they give frequent lessons in flower arranging and related arts. Loved it - two thumbs up - Mrs. G will return some time soon for a class or two :)

I swing by when a colleague has a birthday or a friend is down - their sweet little hand-tied arrangements in silver pails only set you back £7. And the rest are just beautiful.

They do a lot of creations for the TV world (ITV is opposite) but when you tell them what you would like and give them a budget WOW do they impress.

A feast for the eyes, this part home decor, flower shop, and gift shop is a real treat to walk through. And in the middle of Covent Garden a breath of fresh air. Lovely table displays show off beautiful flowers while garden goods are laced with french soaps. A sort of French provancal meets the English country garden of decor. Next door is a deli and flower shop also very pretty and fanciful. I can see Instagramers and bloggers hanging out here regularly with their entourage of photographers and stylists capturing that 'casual' cup of coffee while the rest of us sit back and smell the roses.

Ugh. I wanted to love it since the Richmond restaurant will forever be special and high quality but…read moreCovent Garden location was seriously bad. No one greeted us for well over 7 min so went to La Giocca to get help. The bar inside Petershsm is all style, no substance. Staff pretty but not a clue how to treat customers to a NORMAL service. Music is too loud. The tea service is all style w/out the fundamental basics of a tea strainer that fits the oversize cup so you get tea leaves in tea. Bar tender waitress all smiles but no advice on tea, not a clue. Irritating back and forth on ordering food where I went to bar to order, had to repeat it twice only to be told she would come to the table. Lady, I already told you twice! Out of my seat! Didn't have a clue what arancini is and it's on the menu. Took her 10 min to get to us and it want busy. Flagged her down to remind we never got water. Upon paying the nice bar tender was approached by a staff waiter who yelled at him for not finishing showing him something. AT OUR TABLE. Didn't need to see/hear this. I know of you pay peanuts you get monkeys but thought Petersham would be above reproach. Never giving this place my money again and now I feel jaded about the Richmond restaurant. Sad days!

I plan to visit you and personally buy flowers from you when I'll be able to travel again to England. Five Stars are not enough, you deserve 10 stars and more! Thank you - and please be safe, Maya
