The 14 Best Options for Flower Delivery in the UK
Picking a florist is hard in the UK, where there are so many options at every corner. On top of that, they also have to be reliable? Have the bouquet you love? Available TODAY? Now that’s just too hard to find.
Luckily, we did the work for you.
Lo and behold, 20 hours, 89 emails, and far too many coffees later, here is our list of the 15 best florists in the UK, ranked by their quality, variety, delivery, and prices! (Some even offer same-day flower delivery, straight to your door!)
We promise they’re all tried-and-true, mother-approved. So, without further ado…
Note: Due to the recent pandemic crisis, flower deliveries in the UK are temporarily closed for now. However, you can still have the flowers delivered through contactless deliveries. This might take a little longer than expected, in terms of the present situation. We will be updating this post often, especially where there are regulation or service changes.
1. Petalon Flowers

Petalon has a weekly choice of two bouquets that go up on the website every Sunday morning. They deliver by bicycle to central London and by post to mainland UK 7 days a week. All Petalon bouquets are wrapped tightly in hessian to protect them on transit. Each one has a small water source to see them through the day. After flower delivery to your doorstep, the cut flowers must be transferred to a fresh water source as soon as possible. As for sustainability, all their packaging is either biodegradable or recyclable.
Their flower delivery in the UK, especially bicycle delivery in London, is already carbon neutral. However, they have done more than that. They also donate £1 for every bunch they deliver to Bee Collective, a not-for-profit enterprise which helps Londoners help bees. And for every 100 bouquets they send by post, they plant a tree in the UK. So, order by 12 noon for same day deliveries in London by bicycle and next-day by post across the UK.
