New Covent Garden Market is the UK’s oldest and largest wholesale market for flowers, plants, foliage and sundries. The market, in various forms, has been supplying a large proportion of the floral industry across London for several centuries and maintains a reputation for providing the highest quality, seasonal and sustainable products around.
Many of the wholesalers are fourth, fifth or even sixth generation and possess a level of global knowledge, experience and expertise that is hard to beat. The floristry industry has changed irrevocably in recent times, of course, but New Covent Garden Flower Market remains as its beating heart, supplying the majority of London’s independent trade, from high street florists and market stalls to high-end event and design companies.
Every day, the market’s products will be found in shops, offices, hotels and restaurants, event venues and homes. They mark every occasion from birth, through to celebrations, weddings and funerals.
It is often said that while you can buy your floral products from other places, if you want to stay on trend, if you want to be ex cited or inspired by the products you buy, or if you want to be part of a true floral community, then you need New Covent Garden in your life!
