The time I went looking for a flower photo op.
London’s flower shops are as diverse as it’s many neighborhoods. Below are a few of my favorites, all worthy of an Instagram post or two.
Located inside Mare Street Market, E8
A fantastically industrial shop full of seasonal flowers, almost always British, purchased daily from the New Covent Garden flower market. Be sure to get a few photos of the colorful blooms in their various vases.
Located across from, the always posh, Claridge’s Hotel. Wild Things is a small shop with it’s ever changing, ever popular flower basins. Be sure to wear cute shoes for fun photo ops.
Petals by Bibendum is located just inside the world famous Michelin Building and is filled to the brim with the highest quality flowers from top growers. Plan to spend some time here snapping photos of some of the biggest blooms around.
Nikki Tibbles Wild at Heart has three fabulous locations, each unique in their own way.
Liberity Location, 25 Great Marlborough Street, W1.
Liberity Location, 25 Great Marlborough Street, W1.
Notting Hill Location. 222 west Westbourne Grove, W11
Housed inside Notting Hill’s turquoise island, this Wild at Heart location looks good from every angle.
Pimlico Location. 30A Pimlico Road, SW1
The Pimlico location of Wild at Heart has beautiful rows of blooms along with homeware accessories and ceramics. Perfects for a bit of texture.
Galton Flowers
13 Flask Walk, NW3. A neighborhood favourite, Galton Flowers has an impressive list of clients that ranges from royals to pop icons. Prepare to wait for passersbys to clear the way for a full frontal photo.
Moyses Stevens has 7 locations across London include one inside Selfridges.
Most notable, though, is the Belgravia shop with its floral ceiling. The outside display changes seasonally. It’s a must see during Belgravia in Bloom to catch surrounding shops decked out in their best blooms.
The Neill Strain boutique is always dressed for the occasion. Draped in seasonal blooms, this shop is a must for any London Instagrammer.
With London’s more popular flower shops looking Instagram ready all the time, its easy to overlook the many little shops dotted around London.
Don’t be afraid to stand back to get the whole shot.
London’s flower stalls can be just as photogenic as the more notable shops.
While they have a smaller selection, they can offer up some Instagram gems.
I hope this list helps you find the perfect floral photo opportunity. Let me know if you’ve got a favorite not on this lift.
Wish you were here,
xoxo
