A strange one for me to be reviewing, as flower buying is not one of my regular activities. But my…read moreword, does this shop deserve a mention. I was set the task of buying flowers for my dear mama for her wedding anniversary. A strange one you may think, but my papa works in Africa and being a developing country, his Internet and phone was working only intermittently. Cue a huge favour from his number 1 daughter. Having been told a colour scheme and type of flower I looked on the interflora website (who run Edwards) and found a bouquet that I thought was perfect, though came in a presentation vase that i knew would be surplus to requirements. I telephoned and spoke to a lovely lady who was so friendly I couldn't help but gush half my life story. She told me the flowers from the website are sent from a warehouse and the bouquets cannot be changed, and the longevity of life of the blooms sadly could not be guaranteed by herself. She then advised me that i was more than welcome to bespoke my own creation over the phone. She then went on to describe all the flowers and how she could arrange them. It was absolute bliss! If one thing is for sure, this shop is passionate about customer satisfaction. I'm convinced there would be no worse anniversary gift than a withered past it bunch if flowers. (I think I would read it as symbolism) Sticking at the same price as the original bouquet from the website, she said I could have about 10 more stems in my bouquet. The delivery was free of charge, and after ordering at 2pm it arrived at my mamas house at 9.30 the following morning. Needless to say there were tears upon receipt! One very happy mama on a day that could have proved disastrously lonely given the circumstances. So Edwards, my hat comes off to you for this one!

A very decent florist shop with some potted plants on sale too…read more They put together a good bouquet and listen to your requests carefully. It's a bit tricky if you're going to carry a bouquet away as there is no parking nearby and it's pretty busy just there. Other florists can be better.

They really are beautiful and because everything is so close together, there is a slight feeling of Covent Market There are usually some pot plants on sale too, but these seem more limited now. I've had lots of plants from here. Something very special here are the bouquets. She does them on an oasis, and they are present in a type of gift bag, which gives the look of a planter. The colour schemes vary, and so do the flowers used. They start at £5. One can also order bouquets for a funeral or other occasion. The service is always friendly.

I will certainly be buying from them again. Even the smaller Myrtle was perky and in perfect condition. Having bought from well know larger companies Popular Plants beat them in quality, packing and service hands down! There plants are healthy and well loved. Should change their name from Popular to Perfect Plants Thank you so very much for such superior service

A vibrant array of flowers and colours, almost riotous in their clamour to grab your attention!…read more There are large flowers, bright flowers and also more demure shadesand all sorts of sizes. Just passing this shop gives my winter dulled senses a lift. Whoever buys for this shop does it with flair and gusto. It's so hard to chooseand then there are some potted plants too, oh glory be. Now if I'm going to buy cut flowers, I like them to be in an oasis or one of those bag thingies which keeps them going for weeks. This can be arranged. In all, this new shop has hit the street running, as they say. I wish it every success. Go there!
