About Bankside Flowers: Our Story and Community Commitment

Our Story: Bankside Roots and Blossoming Futures

Bankside Flowers is proud to be a cornerstone of the vibrant Bankside community, bringing bespoke floral beauty to heart of London’s South Bank. Established in 2007 along the bustling Borough High Street, just moments from the iconic Tate Modern and Shakespeare’s Globe, our shop has flourished thanks to our genuine love for flowers, people, and this unique neighbourhood.

Born from a lifelong passion for floristry, Bankside Flowers began as a single-stem stall near Southwark Street, serving commuters and residents with hand-tied bouquets. Over the past seventeen years, we have grown into a full-service florist in Bankside, embracing the lively spirit of the riverside whilst staying true to our roots as a family business. Today, our flower delivery service ensures anyone from Bankside to the bustling lanes of Southwark can enjoy fresh blooms, thoughtfully arranged and delivered with care.

Meet Our Florists: Creativity and Heart

The strength of Bankside Flowers lies in our extraordinary team. Led by our founder, Grace Thompson, who has over 25 years of experience as a florist in Bankside and Central London, our team includes five dedicated florists. Each member brings their own creative flair and technical skill, from contemporary hand-tied arrangements to classic posies inspired by the historic Columbia Road Flower Market.

Whether crafting large event installations at Bankside’s riverside venues or designing intimate bouquets for local birthdays along Redcross Way, every arrangement is a testament to our team's artistry and attention to detail. Regular training and creative workshops keep us inspired by both traditional British floristry and the innovative designers emerging across London.

Our Mission: Bringing Bankside to Life, One Bouquet at a Time

Bankside is more than just a location – it’s a rich tapestry of history, creativity, and community. Our mission is simple: to bring Bankside to life through exceptional floral design, personalised service, and deep-rooted neighbourhood connections. We believe flowers are more than decoration; they are a language of celebration, comfort, and remembrance.

We work closely with local venues, community groups, and businesses, from supplying weekly flowers to offices near the Tate Modern to supporting Bankside’s annual summer fêtes on Union Street. Every arrangement we deliver is infused with our passion for this unique place and the people who call it home.

Eco Practices: Sustainability at the Heart of Our Floristry

As a modern florist in Bankside, we are committed to minimising our environmental impact without sacrificing quality. Our eco-conscious approach guides everything we do:

Sourcing: We prioritise flowers from British growers and ethical overseas farms, minimising air miles and supporting local suppliers.
Packaging: All our packaging is recyclable or compostable, and we use biodegradable water sachets for our bouquets.
Waste Reduction: Any floral waste is composted or donated to local care homes and schools for creative reuse.
Delivery: Our Bankside flower delivery operates by foot, bike, or electric vehicle wherever possible, reducing our carbon footprint across the neighbourhoods we serve.

By blending beautiful design with sustainable methods, Bankside Flowers delivers not only joy but peace of mind.

Community Ties: Proudly Serving Bankside and Beyond

Bankside is home to some of London’s most cherished landmarks and a diverse, welcoming community. We are grateful to serve customers from Blackfriars Bridge to the lively Southbank Centre, with regular deliveries to addresses along Clink Street, Bear Gardens, and The Cut. Our continued partnerships with local event spaces, restaurants on Bankside’s Park Street, schools, and charities reflect our ongoing commitment to giving back.

We are annual sponsors of the Borough Market Spring Festival, participate in neighbourhood clean-ups, and offer free seasonal workshops at local libraries. As your home-grown Bankside florist, we cherish every connection made through flowers – from grand wedding installations by the Thames to simple gestures of appreciation delivered to a door on Great Suffolk Street.
