Located on Westminster Bridge Road in the heart of central London, St Thomas' Hospital is part of Guy's and St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust and serves patients from across the capital and beyond.

Our local florist team delivers seven days a week to St Thomas' Hospital, with same-day delivery available when orders are placed before midday. We work with experienced couriers who know the hospital layout well, including the main entrance on Lambeth Palace Road and the North Wing reception. Bouquets are usually handed in at the main reception desk or ward reception, where staff will arrange for the flowers to be taken to the patient. Please note that some wards, particularly critical care, neonatal, and oncology units, may not accept fresh flowers for infection control reasons, so it is always wise to check with the ward before ordering. Visiting hours at St Thomas' Hospital typically run between 11am and 8pm, though these vary by ward, and our deliveries are timed to arrive during reception opening hours so your gift is never left waiting. We recommend including the patient's full name, ward name, and ward number on your order to help the porters and reception team locate them quickly within the large hospital complex. From seasonal British blooms to elegant lily and rose arrangements, our range is designed to suit every taste and budget. Many of our London customers choose softer, scent-free bouquets for hospital settings, and we are happy to advise on the most suitable choice. Whether you are sending get well wishes, congratulating a new parent on the Maternity Unit at St Thomas' Hospital, or simply showing you care, we make it easy to send beautiful flowers across Lambeth and central London with care, speed and reliability.

We deliver to St Thomas' Hospital seven days a week between 9am and 6pm, with same-day delivery available for orders placed before 12pm Monday to Saturday.

Where exactly are flowers delivered within St Thomas' Hospital?
Our couriers typically deliver to the main reception on Lambeth Palace Road or directly to the relevant ward reception within St Thomas' Hospital. Reception staff or porters then ensure the bouquet reaches the patient. To help us deliver smoothly, please provide the patient's full name, ward name, and bed number if known. If the patient has been moved or discharged, our team will contact you to arrange redelivery to a home address in London or a suitable alternative.
Are there any wards at St Thomas' Hospital that do not allow flowers?
Yes, certain wards at St Thomas' Hospital restrict fresh flowers for infection control and patient safety reasons. These usually include intensive care, the neonatal unit, haematology, and some oncology wards. If you are unsure, we recommend phoning the ward directly before placing your order. As an alternative, we offer beautiful artificial silk arrangements, plants in sealed pots, and gift hampers with chocolates or fruit, all of which are generally welcomed throughout the hospital.
