I ordered flowers out of season, so I was promptly called and made aware of this. They offered to replace with flowers in season, and they could arrange something comparable and in the 'spirit' of my order (i.e. tall, tasteful, classy, yet modern) to which I agreed. In a very good way, it was not your cliche, typical gift-to-a-woman arrangement, and very well received. My wife loved them, and all the Ladies at her office were jealous : ) Many thanks, will be in touch next time I need flowers!

Picked Tim at Flowers by Birksen as my wedding florist on strong recommendations of friends who…read moreorganise a lot of weddings and I have to say - WOW. STUNNING STUNNING work. They took the beautiful wedding venue to a whole new level with the lovely decor and my bridal bouquet was a true beauty (this says a lot, coming from someone who never bothers much with flowers and just told Tim "I trust you; I like these colours and these elements - now just go with your gut.") Would hands down recommend Tim and Birksen for any occasion!!

The storefront, a grand Georgian (?) façade painted a hippy-ish purple has a Selfridge-style impact suitably scaled-down to this small stretch of largely quite wonderful and unique establishments facing onto the common. Its windows too show flair and are frequently updated, It's a gift shop full of intriguing trinkets. The stock is imaginatively resourced and displayed: cards, jewellery, small home gifts, and local interest things it seems to aim to cater for all ages (the trendier spectrum of all ages, that is). I find it really impossible to emerge without succumbing to temptation.
