Gilding the Lily

Right outside the South Kensington tube station, this street flower vendor presents a colorful selection of flowers and potted plants for all budgets. The staff is knowledgeable and friendly, and the selection on offer is gorgeous.

Great flower shop, conveniently located near South Kensington station. You can get lovely flowers on the way to near by hospital when visiting friends or family. Or on the way from worj on grab a bunch of flowers for your love one or a blind date.

Such beautiful flowers and helpful staff. I gave my budget from the offset, and the woman, (I didn't get her name), was so nice helping me add different flowers to a bouquet I'd chosen and explaining what would compliment the flowers already there.

I come here all the time - the flowers always look so healthy and the staff is really kind

Edit: have stopped going since the flowers don’t last longer than a day anymore and are now too pricey

Great last minute order to Gliding the Lily and they did a great job and even delivered to the place I needed with no extra charge. Will use again for sure.

Breathing taking bouquet! Amazing service! Lovely and kind staff! Only place I’ll think to get my flowers from.. HIGHLY RECOMMEND 👌🏼

The flowers are beautiful, but the staff is beyond rude, nasty, ungrateful and arrogant. They asked me to wear a mask when there is absolutely no obligation to do so given that it is an outdoor space. They don’t greet clients and they treat them with attitude.
Tons of better places to buy flowers

Extremely poor customer care - very rude! Wanted my receipt to be sent to my email rather than printed off for environmental reasons but when member of staff realised I tapped that option she literally yanked the card machine off my hands and said she needed it for another customer so printed it off instead.
Florists are extremely aware of the impact they have on the environment and I have to say this attitude really disgusted me, not to mention the fact that they completely dismissed my preferences!!
