1 Wild at Heart, Westbourne Grove
In 1993, the residents of Westbourne Grove commissioned celebrated architect Piers Gough to design an elegant landmark in the heart of the community, a colourful hive of activity that became Wild at Heart’s first shop. The brainchild of Nikki Tibbles, Wild at Heart is famed for its opulent and unique style, with a team of events planners and florists.

2 Moyses Stevens, various locations

With florists across London, including Belgravia, Selfridges and Sloane Square, as well as a flower school in Battersea, there are plenty of ways to get your hands on these gorgeous hand-tied bouquets.

3 Scarlet & Violet, Kensal Rise
Celebrating a decade since opening back in 2006, Scarlet & Violet has been a valuable and colourful part of life on Chamberlayne Road, Kensal Rise. We love the atmosphere here, as well as the scents and lots of excitable chatter as locals come together to discuss and learn more about the new deliveries every day.

4 Harper & Tom’s, Notting Hill
Here’s where you will uncover a bit of a history lesson: Harper & Tom’s were the first in London to replace the ‘layered’ bouquet with what has become known as a ‘tied bunch’. We are not sure if we prefer the intimacy of their kiosk on the corner of Elgin Crescent and Kensington Park Road, or the colourful splendour of their shop on Clarendon Road.
