CITY OF LONDON

A mention of the city of London brings different fond memories. For some, it is one of the famous cities in the world. For others, it is home.

Almost everyone is familiar with the place as the capital and largest city of the United Kingdom. It is known for being a modern, bustling and multi-cultural city that retains its links to the natural world. Central London is home to several famous parks, which represents its flower culture.

The City of London has world-famous parks such as St. James's Park, Hyde Park, Regent's Park, and Crystal Palace Park. These are just some of the open green spaces in the city. Each of them has a unique quality and plenty of facilities to keep visitors entertained.

Botanical gardens in the City of London are also worth noting. One such garden is Kew Gardens in southwest London, which has more than 8.5 million plant and fungal specimens. This makes Kew Gardens a top tourist attraction and a World Heritage site. 

Meanwhile, the famous Regent's Park has lots of lovely areas to explore. Part of the park is a beautiful rose garden, Queen Mary's Rose Garden,  which is in full bloom from May to June. It also has a promenade of cherry blossoms and fantastic old fig trees, playing fields and a large boating lake with weeping willows and ducks.

There is also a small pond with pedalos for kids and the Regent's Park Open Air Theatre that runs shows during the summer. Regent's Park is the ideal place for a picnic in the summer. Its location also makes it an excellent place for walks and outdoor photography.

Another beautiful park in Central London is St James's Park. Here you can enjoy the sunshine, spring flowers and views of Buckingham Palace. It has a delightful pond in the middle with swans, ducks and various fowls.

St James's Park is the perfect picnic area and a lunchtime spot to chill out. The space is big enough to have a leisurely stroll. It is a clean and well-maintained park with fantastic flora and fauna people of all ages would enjoy.

At Upton Lane, West Ham Park is a park managed by the City of London, which the whole family can enjoy. It has a seven-acre ornamental garden, which features different types of flowers like roses and cherry trees. Same as other parks, it has a children's play area, a cricket pitch, tennis courts and a bandstand.

Central London's flower culture is a lively one. With tended blooming gardens, play areas and facilities for leisure, flora are kept alive and healthy. Besides fresh flowers, London is symbolised by its county flower, the Rosebay willowherb.

This tall plant with bright pink flower spikes can grow on disturbed ground such as woodland clearings, verges and waste ground. It can also be seen in open spaces such as woodland clearings, roadside verges, and grassland.

Unfortunately, the Rosebay willowherb is not a decorative flower. For fresh-cut flowers, there are flower shops in the City of London offering same day flower delivery. Most of these local businesses have been in the area for years and has been serving Londoners for years.

Buy flowers from a London florist to support the local industry. When you do this, you empower small businesses. On top of that, you get the best flower services as these people know the area by heart. Florists can deliver flower orders anywhere in the City of London.

The Flower Shops network has several florists delivering in Central London. These are dedicated florists operating their local shops to create fabulous bouquets and flower arrangements for funerals and events. The florists are always ready to assist you and deliver floral products during occasions.
