“An astonishingly beautiful place! … The range and quality of plants is fantastic, especially if you are looking for something unusual.”
That sentiment shines through in person: whether you’re browsing the Highbury location at 99 St Paul’s Road or the Brick Lane spot (106a Brick Ln, London E1 6RL) you’ll find plenty of variety and plenty of welcoming smiles.

My Review
️️️️️ (5/5)
Jen’s Plants & Florist offers a wonderful fusion of botanical beauty and personal service. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable, the plant selection is both broad and thoughtfully curated (including some true stand-outs you won’t find everywhere), and the floral arrangements—especially the dried flower options—are stylish and long-lasting. The two London locations make it easy to pop in, and the vibe makes it feel less like shopping and more like visiting a community of plant lovers. Highly recommended if you’re looking for a plant, a bouquet or just inspiration.
