8 London florists you need to follow on Instagram
The sun’s out in London and the weather is getting warmer, which means one thing: spring has well and truly sprung and summer is on the way.
If you needed proof of the changing seasons, look no further than Chelsea Flower Show. The week-long botanical extravaganza brings a host of spectacular show gardens to London this week, while outside of SW4, every other shop, hotel and manicured outpost is blooming in tribute with fragrant, delicate displays.
But if you didn’t get tickets to the show this year, there are plenty of ways that you can get your floral fix.
One good place to start? Instagram.
We’ve rounded-up the London florists that any gardener with a penchant for delicate daisies and pungent peonies should get to know - from letterbox florists Bloom and Wild to Hackney's Rebel Rebel.
So whether you’re looking for inspiration for your home, your wedding or you simply like pretty blossoms filling your feed on a daily basis, these are the best accounts to follow ahead of - and long after - the flower show.
Following fingers at the ready…
