This is my go-to flower shop. Well, not even a shop really... it's just a little stand just east of…read morePortobello Road Market. As is to be expected, the flower selection is best in the morning and on non-market days, when everyone and their dog seems to find it romantic to pick up a bouquet during their market shop. They carry an array of beautiful flowers throughout the seasons, often including unusual succulents, herbs, and even thistle and wildflowers, and will happily sell you a few stems of your favorite hydrangeas or tulips. But they shine in the arranging department as well. I recently had them put together an autumnal bouquet for my dining table. It was made up of rust and yellow dahlias, a lush purple wildflower, and springs of rosemary. It lasted more than two weeks! It can be a bit pricy (I paid 30gbp for the large bouquet mentioned above), but it's excellent value for money. And I don't say that often in London, and especially not of most of the businesses near Portobello Road Market.

Also on the other hand well placed for picking up the perfect bouquet before starting your commute to the in-laws, or heading off to Sunday lunch at Ma and Pa's. A family run stall; two brothers and their father, which makes it all that more special and me personally, I have no objections giving my custom to a hard working family and supporting local trade.

This is a really nice garden centre located on the A1000 leading towards potters bar…read more It has a good sized car park and easy access in and out with pushchairs and wheelchairs. The garden centre itself stocks a huge range of plants, and garden accessories including lots of the more unusual type of plants. The prices can be a bit steep but then they always are in garden centres, they do sell a range of garden equipment to suit all budgets though. Inside there is a large section for gifts and there is a coffe bar/cafe.

Free local delivery and floral services make Battersea Flower Station an all-around great little garden centre.

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!

There isn't a lot of selection in that area, but I had seen Gingerlily and decided to check it out. I am so glad that I went into the little flower shop. The shop was decorated for Christmas and smelled of fresh flowers, I love that scent. I also found an ornament, a beautiful snow flake, which was a bonus. After looking around I found a bouquet of purple flowers and couldn't resist. I love fresh cut flowers and the owner's arrangements are brilliant, plus she's very friendly and we chatted for a bit while she rang up my purchases. The shop also sells cards, not a very large selection but a large enough selection where you can find a card to go with the flowers you just purchased. I saw several other floral arrangements I liked but decided I couldn't leave the store with everything and happily left with my flowers and snowflake.

Particularly if I am going somewhere for supper or something. For some reason their flowers seem to last for tons longer than any other florist I buy from, the owner says it is because she goes to the flower market most mornings so the stock is very fresh. I think they always have a really lovely range and she will make you bouquets up to any price, starting from about £5. Also she sells a few orchids and pot plants. The place looks gorgeous, and has pretty pretty walls with vintage mirrors up, and there are a few really lovely touches like the stamp on the brown paper wrapping they use on the flowers. Often there is a little cat in the shop too. I don't think he lives there, but he adds to the ambience! I highly recommend Gingerlily Flowers to anyone.
