Order flowers to Queen Elizabeth Hospital with fast delivery
Sending flowers to a patient at Queen Elizabeth Hospital in London is one of the kindest gestures you can make when a friend or relative is unwell. Located in Stadium Road, Woolwich, in the Royal Borough of Greenwich, Queen Elizabeth Hospital serves a wide catchment area across south east London and into north Kent, and our local florists are perfectly placed to deliver fresh, beautifully arranged bouquets right to the hospital reception, often on the very same day. We work with experienced florists based in and around Greenwich, Woolwich, Charlton and Eltham, which means your flowers do not spend hours in transit. Every bouquet is hand tied on the morning of delivery and brought to Queen Elizabeth Hospital by a local courier who knows the site well. The main entrance on Stadium Road has a clearly signposted reception desk where staff will accept floral deliveries on behalf of patients, and from there the ward team will usually take the bouquet to the bedside during their next round. When ordering, it helps enormously if you can provide the full name of the patient, the ward name or number, and ideally a contact mobile number. Queen Elizabeth Hospital has many specialist wards, including the Emergency Department, maternity at the Birthing Centre, oncology, cardiology and a busy surgical assessment unit, so accurate ward details prevent delays. If you do not know the ward, our drivers can leave the arrangement at the main reception with clear labelling and reception staff will arrange internal delivery. Visiting hours at Queen Elizabeth Hospital are generally between 14:00 and 20:00, with some flexibility on maternity and paediatric wards, so we aim to deliver between late morning and early afternoon to ensure the flowers are waiting when visitors or nursing staff can place them by the bed. Please note that, in line with NHS infection control policy, certain wards such as Intensive Care, Coronary Care and some haematology areas do not accept fresh flowers. In those cases we will happily suggest a beautiful alternative, such as a luxury fruit basket, chocolates or a potted plant suitable for home, ready for when your loved one is discharged. Whether you live locally in Greenwich, elsewhere in London, or further afield in England or overseas, ordering through us guarantees a thoughtful, professional delivery to Queen Elizabeth Hospital, bringing colour and comfort exactly when it is needed most.
Frequently asked questions about flowers to Queen Elizabeth Hospital
What time will my flowers be delivered to Queen Elizabeth Hospital?
For orders placed before midday, we aim to deliver to Queen Elizabeth Hospital the same day, usually between late morning and early afternoon so the bouquet arrives in time for visiting hours, which typically begin at 14:00. Orders placed later in the day will be delivered the following morning. Our local florist driver brings the flowers to the main reception on Stadium Road, where staff sign for the delivery and pass them on to the relevant ward team for distribution to the patient.
Do I need to know the ward and patient details to send flowers?
Yes, please provide the patient's full name and, where possible, the ward name or number at Queen Elizabeth Hospital. Because the hospital is large and treats thousands of patients each week, accurate details help ensure prompt internal delivery. A mobile number for the patient or a visiting relative is also useful in case the ward staff need to clarify anything. If the ward is unknown, our driver will still deliver to the main reception, clearly labelled, and reception will route the bouquet through the hospital's internal system.
Are there any wards at Queen Elizabeth Hospital that do not allow flowers?
Yes, a small number of wards at Queen Elizabeth Hospital restrict fresh flowers for infection control reasons. These typically include the Intensive Care Unit, Coronary Care Unit, and certain haematology or immunocompromised patient areas. If your recipient is on one of these wards, we will contact you to suggest a suitable alternative, such as chocolates, a fruit hamper, a balloon bouquet or a card with a gift. These can still be delivered to the hospital reception and passed on to brighten your loved one's day.
