Flowers to Royal Free Hospital – order online
Sending flowers to a loved one at the Royal Free Hospital is a thoughtful way to brighten their stay, and our florists make it simple and reliable. Located on Pond Street in the heart of Hampstead, north London, the Royal Free Hospital is a major NHS teaching hospital serving patients from across the capital and beyond. Whether your friend or family member is being treated on one of the medical wards, recovering after surgery, or staying in the maternity unit, a fresh bouquet delivered the next day can lift their spirits and remind them they are not alone. Our experienced delivery team knows the Royal Free Hospital well, including the main entrance on Pond Street and the layout of the various wards spread across the hospital's distinctive tower block. Deliveries are typically made during standard visiting hours, which generally run from early afternoon into the evening, although these can vary by ward. We recommend ordering before 1pm for next-day delivery, giving our drivers plenty of time to navigate the busy Hampstead and Belsize Park area, particularly during rush hour on Haverstock Hill and Rosslyn Hill. When our courier arrives at the Royal Free Hospital, flowers are usually handed to the main reception or directly to the relevant ward's nursing station, as patients are not always able to come to the entrance to collect items themselves. Please remember to include the patient's full name and, if known, the ward name or number when placing your order. This small detail helps hospital staff route your bouquet quickly to the right bedside. We offer a wide selection suitable for hospital settings, from cheerful seasonal mixed bouquets and bright gerberas to elegant lilies and classic roses. Do keep in mind that some wards at the Royal Free Hospital, particularly intensive care, oncology and certain children's areas, may restrict fresh flowers for infection control reasons. If you are unsure, our team can suggest beautiful alternatives such as potted plants or chocolate gift baskets. Serving patients across London, the Royal Free Hospital welcomes thousands of well-wishers each year, and we are proud to help them send a little piece of warmth and care.

Where exactly will my flowers be delivered at the Royal Free Hospital?
Our courier will deliver your flowers to the main entrance of the Royal Free Hospital on Pond Street, where they are usually handed to reception or taken to the ward via reception's nursing station. Hospital staff then bring the bouquet to your loved one's bedside. We do not deliver to individual rooms unsupervised, so please make sure to provide the patient's full name and ward name when ordering. This helps our team and Royal Free Hospital staff get your gift to the correct recipient quickly.
Are there any wards at the Royal Free Hospital where flowers are not allowed?
Yes, like many UK hospitals, the Royal Free Hospital may restrict fresh flowers in certain wards such as intensive care, haematology, oncology, and some neonatal or children's areas, mainly due to infection control. If you are unsure whether flowers are permitted for your loved one's ward, we recommend calling the ward directly before ordering. Alternatively, our team can suggest lovely substitutes such as potted plants in sealed containers, fruit baskets, chocolates or balloon bouquets, all of which can be delivered to the Royal Free Hospital with the same care.
